About Beetham CofE Primary School

Beetham CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in Westmorland and Furness, currently teaching 53 pupils against a capacity of 65, meaning there is some physical room to grow. However, the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 13 applications for just 2 available places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 6. 5. All 2 first-preference applicants were offered places, but the wider numbers suggest competition is fierce for those few spots. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 6. 7%, well below the national average, indicating a relatively affluent intake. The school offers nursery provision for children aged 2 and up, which may be a practical entry point for local families. With a mixed gender intake and a Church of England character, Beetham serves a small, tight-knit community where demand clearly outstrips supply.
