About Old Hutton CofE School

Old Hutton CofE School is a small Church of England primary in Westmorland and Furness, currently teaching 89 pupils against a capacity of 120, so there is room to grow. Just 7% of its children qualify for free school meals, well below the national average, which suggests a relatively advantaged intake compared with many state primaries. The school is clearly popular locally: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 8 applications for just 5 places, with all 5 first-preference families offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 6. That level of demand is notable for a village school of this size, and it reflects the school’s strong reputation in the area. With nursery provision on site, it caters for children from age 3, and the mixed-gender, CofE character means it will particularly suit families who value a faith-based setting within a small, rural community.
