At Cartmel Priory School, we aim to deliver the highest standards of education whilst developing our students to become life-long learners who remain curious about the world around them and who are highly ambitious for themselves.

We believe strongly that education is about supporting students in a holistic way to develop the wisdom, knowledge and skills to be ready for their adult life.

The quality of relationships that exist within our school community and the commitment of all of our staff, both teaching and non-teaching, is a strength of our school and supports us to be able to provide the best possible learning experience for our students. Every child is important in this school and being small means, we can truly know every individual in our community.

Jenny and Joel Crompton, parents of current students, said: "As soon as we stepped through the door to the school we knew it was the school for us.

"There is a warm feeling carried throughout the school and it was clear that all the students genuinely want to learn and be a part of the school community.

"The teachers clearly inspire the students to learn and genuinely care about them as individuals."

We positively encourage the involvement of parents so that we are able to work in partnership to ensure students make the best possible progress. As a consequence of the outstanding pastoral care we offer and our focus on character development, our students demonstrate extremely high standards of behaviour and very positive attitudes to learning.

The school is consistently one of Cumbria’s highest performing schools and we see it as an asset that our students are ready to leave us, at the end of Year 11, to a vast range of post 16 providers both in our local area and nationally.
