Children
Lanercost CE Primary School provides a rich, supportive environment across all year groups, with a strong focus on personal development, wellbeing, and community.
From the very first steps in our welcoming Nursery and Reception classes, where curiosity and a love of learning are gently cultivated, through to Class 4, where pupils take on leadership roles and develop greater independence, our school is dedicated to fostering confidence, character, and a lifelong passion for discovery.
Personal development and wellbeing lie at the heart of our approach. We believe that education is about more than academic achievement alone—it’s about nurturing resilient, compassionate individuals who are equipped to navigate the complexities of life with kindness and integrity.
