About Cartmel CofE Primary School

Cartmel CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in Westmorland and Furness, with just 49 pupils on roll against a capacity of 70, so there is plenty of physical space. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 8. 2%, which is notably lower than the national average, suggesting a relatively affluent intake. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 20 applications for just 6 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3. 33, and all 6 first-preference applicants were offered a place. This is a school that families clearly want to get into, and with a Church of England character, it may appeal particularly to local families who value that ethos. The school is mixed-gender and caters for children aged 4 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision.
