About Kirkbie Kendal School

Kirkbie Kendal School is one of 22 state secondary schools in the Westmorland and Furness local authority, serving pupils aged 11 to 18 as a mixed, non-denominational community school. It sits alongside John Ruskin School, Settlebeck School, and Queen Elizabeth School as the top-performing peers in the immediate area, based on available ranking data. With 1,041 pupils on roll and Mark Harris as headteacher, the school has held a Good rating from Ofsted in its most recent inspection. This is particularly significant given that no secondary school in the entire local authority has achieved an Outstanding rating, meaning Kirkbie Kendal represents one of the strongest available options for families seeking a state-funded co-educational secondary without a religious character. Its position among the top local peers reinforces its standing as a solid choice within the LA.
