At Carnforth Christ Church C of E Primary School we know that the choice of a school is one of the most important decisions that parents are called upon to make on behalf of their children. We offer a vibrant and stimulating education to children aged 4 to 11 years.
Currently, there are 117 children on roll organised into five classes, each named after a tree indigenous to Great Britain: Willow Class (EYFS), Holly Class (Y1/Y2), Rowan Class (Year 3), Hawthorn Class (Y4/Y5) and Oak Class (Y6).
We thank you for showing an interest in our school and hope that the information provided on our school website will give you an insight into our school family and help you to make the right decision.
