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. We are an inclusive school where pupils come from differing backgrounds where the health and wellbeing of the child is just as important as academic achievement. 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. Pupils know that leaders have high expectations of their learning and behaviour. Pupils respond well to these expectations. They achieve well as a result. Pupils behave very well in lessons and around school. They show the utmost care towards each other and towards adults.”
