About Yanwath Primary School

Yanwath Primary School is a mixed state primary in Westmorland and Furness, currently home to 172 pupils against a capacity of 185, meaning it has a little breathing room but is well-filled. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 8.1%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively affluent intake. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 41 total applications for 23 places, with exactly 23 first-preference applications and all 23 first-preference offers accepted. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.78, a clear signal that local families are keen to secure a spot here. The school has nursery provision for children from age three, feeding into the main school through to Year 6, and has no religious character, so admissions are handled entirely by the local authority.
