Pennine Way Primary School is a friendly school situated on the outskirts of Carlisle between a long-established local community along with new communities developing on the edge of Carlisle, as the City expands.

Our school is a happy place where children feel cared for, treated with respect and given every opportunity to be successful and shine across the curriculum. 

In July 2022 Ofsted recognised that; “Pennine Way is a happy school. Pupils are taught to value cooperation, acceptance, respect and empathy. They are proud of their school and are eager to learn.
