About Orgill Primary School

Orgill Primary School in Cumberland is a state primary for children aged 2 to 11, and it is significantly oversubscribed. With 259 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, the school is operating well above its intended size. For the 2025/26 admissions round, there were 55 total applications for just 23 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.39. All 23 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while demand is high, families who put Orgill first are likely to succeed. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 25.5%, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools, indicating that the school serves a community with above-average levels of economic disadvantage. This context matters for parents considering the school, as it shapes both the challenges and the support structures in place.
