About Ivegill CofE School

Ivegill CofE School is a small Church of England primary in Westmorland and Furness, currently home to 81 pupils against a capacity of 90. That leaves some physical headroom, but the school is clearly in demand: for 2025/26 entry, it received 14 applications for just 6 places, with all 6 first-preference families securing a spot. The oversubscription ratio of 2.33 tells you this is a school local families actively want. Its free school meals rate sits at 13.6%, which is below the national primary average of around 23%, suggesting a relatively affluent intake. The school is mixed, takes children from ages 4 to 11, and has a Church of England character, though the data doesn't specify whether that affects admissions criteria. Headteacher Matthew Trickett leads a team that has kept the school popular despite its small size.
