About Ennerdale and Kinniside CofE Primary School

Ennerdale and Kinniside CofE Primary School is a small state primary in Cumberland, with just 41 pupils on roll against a capacity of 56, meaning it is operating at around 73% of its maximum. The school serves a notably less disadvantaged intake than the national average: only 2.4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with roughly 23% nationally. This is a Church of England mixed school for children aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision available. The headteacher is James Gartland. There is no oversubscription data in the admissions information, which, combined with the spare capacity, suggests the school is not heavily oversubscribed and may suit families looking for a smaller, more intimate setting. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, a rating it has held since its most recent graded inspection in 2012, and it was confirmed to remain Good in an ungraded inspection in 2022.
