Schools in Grange-over-Sands

Reviewed by the catchment.school editorial team · Last updated 15 March 2026

Grange-over-Sands is one of the most distinctive school catchment areas in Cumbria, with 9 schools that include a selective grammar school and six faith schools — the highest faith-school concentration of any town in Westmorland and Furness. All three Ofsted-rated schools are Good or Outstanding, and the average fill rate is 86%.

The presence of a selective school means families here face an additional layer of admissions complexity: the grammar's entrance exam runs separately from the standard Local Authority process. Two schools are currently oversubscribed. Westmorland and Furness Council publishes a combined admissions prospectus each September covering both selective and community school applications.
