iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Allonby School is a successful, small and inclusive school located on the West Cumbrian coast. It continues to be graded as GOOD by OFSTED further to our most recent inspection in March 2024. The village of Allonby is located in the Area of Outstanding natural beauty (AONB).
We have two classrooms - KS2 and KS1 which holds a Foundation unit consisting of Reception and Nursery that has been open since September 2014. The small class sizes enable each child to benefit from close, personalised teacher support. This ensures that all children make excellent progress. We have very strong links with the local community and Church.
Although Allonby School is not a Church school we have regular visits from the Vicar who takes assemblies. The children also participate in Harvest Festival, Christmas, Easter and other seasonal services at the Church.
Villagers are frequently invited to the School to take part in events and celebrations and are also very committed to helping the school with fundraising and providing other expertise and services. We are very much a community school. We currently have 28 children on roll in school.
