Mrs Allison Kenyon
Interim Head of School
Welcome to Yanwath Primary School.
I’m delighted to introduce you to our wonderful school and thank you for taking the time to explore what makes our community so special.
At Yanwath, we pride ourselves on being a warm, inclusive and ambitious school where every child is known, supported and inspired to succeed. Set in a beautiful rural location on the edge of the Lake District, we make the most of our environment to enhance learning and promote well-being.
Our school values – Respect, Responsibility and Resilience – are at the heart of everything we do. We work hard to ensure all pupils feel safe, confident and excited to learn, and we believe strongly in developing the whole child—academically, socially and emotionally.
Yanwath was rated ‘Good’ in all areas in our most recent Ofsted inspection, with particular praise for our high expectations, broad curriculum and strong relationships between staff and pupils. Families also tell us their children are happy and thriving here, which is something we are especially proud of.
Our dedicated team of staff provide the very best learning experiences. Whether through academic achievement, creative opportunities or outdoor learning, we want every child to leave Yanwath feeling proud of who they are and ready for the next step in their journey.
If you’re a prospective parent or carer, I warmly invite you to visit us and see what a day in the life of our school looks like.
Please get in touch to arrange a tour – we’d love to welcome you in person. You can call our friendly team on 01768 840739.
