About Arlecdon Primary School

Arlecdon Primary School is a small state primary in Cumberland, a local authority that includes 144 primary schools, of which only five hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. The school sits among a cluster of well-regarded local peers, with Jericho Primary School, Irthington Village School, and Shankhill CofE Primary School all scoring highly on the local ranking index. Arlecdon itself has a Good rating from its most recent graded inspection in 2016, and an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. Headteacher Tanya Peers leads a mixed-gender, non-religious school for children aged 2 to 11, with a nursery on site. The school is small — just 42 pupils against a capacity of 80 — and 16.7 per cent of children are eligible for free school meals. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school offered all six of its first-preference applicants from a total of six applications, meaning it was not oversubscribed.
