Dallam school is among the top 90 schools in England showing the greatest sustained improvement in the percentage of pupils achieving five or more A* - C GCSEs, including English and Mathematics GCSEs.

Tim said: “I want to congratulate the staff, governors, parents and pupils for their hard work and success. Dallam School is a real community hub and like so many schools throughout the Lakes, they really are a centre of excellence.”
