About Ireleth St Peter's CofE Primary School

Ireleth St Peter's CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in Westmorland and Furness, one of 121 state primary schools across the local authority. It sits at rank 61 in the LA, placing it in the bottom half of local primaries. The top-performing peers in the area are Yarlside Academy, St Mary's Catholic Primary School in Ulverston, and Staveley CofE School, all of which outrank it on the same KS2 measure. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is George Romney Junior School, 3. 3 kilometres away. With 76 pupils on roll and a capacity of 84, the school is not quite full, yet it was oversubscribed for 2025/26 admissions: 23 families applied for 10 places, and all 10 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. That suggests strong local demand, even if the school's ranking doesn't put it among the LA's top tier.
