About Langwathby CofE Primary School

Langwathby CofE Primary School sits within the Westmorland and Furness local authority, a mixed state primary for children aged 3 to 11. In the most recent local rankings, it placed 56th out of 99 primary schools in the area, putting it just inside the bottom half of its peers. The top-performing schools nearby include Yarlside Academy, St Mary's Catholic Primary School in Ulverston, and Staveley CofE School, all of which scored higher on the same ranking metric. Langwathby's position reflects a solid but not standout performance among its local competitors. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 academic year, receiving 51 applications for 30 places, with 33 of those coming as first preferences. That level of demand suggests it holds a genuine appeal for local families, even if its ranking doesn't place it among the very top in the area. With a Church of England character and a headteacher in Sally Hay, the school serves a relatively small cohort of 172 pupils against a capacity of 233, leaving some room for growth.
