Welcome to St Mary’s Church of England School – Kirkby Lonsdale



Welcome to Summer Term at St Mary’s CE School

Located on the edge of Kirkby Lonsdale, our school takes advantage of being situated in the beautiful and historic market town in the Lune Valley. Kirkby Lonsdale is an idyllic place to live on the edge of Cumbria, Lancashire and North Yorkshire, and our school has a long tradition of high quality education in the area. Whether you are a prospective parent or a parent of a child in school, welcome. It is with great pride that I introduce our school – I hope you find our website helpful in giving you and insight into St Mary’s. I think our school is a very special place and in discovering our school, we hope you will think the same.

Please contact Mrs Newton, Mrs Wallwork or Mrs Ashton via admin@stmarys-kl.cumbria.sch.uk if you wish to make an enquiry about a school place for your child in nursery or other classes. Telephone 015242 71334.

Thank you to everyone who has worked so hard over the past two terms to support our PTA. The support in time and money you generously give, goes directly to all of our children in school. Flick through to see the money raised and the money spent already this year. #fundraising #pta #thankyou #kindness #generosity #children #money #support
