Ireleth St Peter's CofE Primary School 

Ireleth St Peter’s C of E Primary School is small, rural school located in the village of Ireleth, Askam in Furness, first founded in 1608. Our school has 3 mixed age classes, the composition of which is typically Nursery and EYFS, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 although this structure can slightly vary year on year, depending on our assessment of the needs of each particular year group.  

The building itself is split across two levels.  Two classrooms (accessed through flights of stairs), the school hall, pupil/ adult toilets (with disabled access) and the school office are located on the ground floor. The Key Stage 2 classroom is located on the first floor, which is accessible via stairs or stair lift. We have various routes into school, including wheelchair friendly access through the hall and into the playground.

We have extensive school grounds, offering wonderful views over the Duddon Estuary. These are comprised of an EYFS outdoor play area, school playground, allotment, field, sports field and outdoor classroom and all can be accessed via ramp or steps.

We aim to provide a flexible school environment and a child centred approach is at the heart of our christian ethos, we treat children as individuals and value their uniqueness, assessing needs on an individual basis and making further reasonable adaptations to our environment if needed.
