About Storth CofE School

Storth CofE School is a small Church of England primary in Westmorland and Furness, a local authority with 121 primary schools. It ranks 44th among them, placing it in the middle of the pack. The top-performing peers in the area are Yarlside Academy, St Mary's Catholic Primary School in Ulverston, and Staveley CofE School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. With just 84 pupils against a capacity of 100, Storth is a genuinely small school, and its headteacher Simon Brabant leads a mixed-gender intake from age 2 to 11. The school has nursery provision, which is a practical draw for local families with younger children. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2022, confirmed the school remains Good, a rating it has held consistently since at least its previous graded inspection in 2012. The school is oversubscribed for 2025/26, with 19 applications for 9 places and all 9 first-preference applicants receiving offers, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 11.
