Schools in Maryport

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

Maryport has 13 schools dominated by primary provision — 12 primaries and just 1 secondary — all within Cumberland Council's admissions area. The average fill rate across 12 schools with roll data is 75 per cent, suggesting meaningful spare capacity at primary level; only two schools are oversubscribed.

Five of Maryport's schools are Good or Outstanding on their most recent Ofsted inspection, out of six that have been rated. Three schools hold Roman Catholic or Church of England designations with faith-based oversubscription criteria. Five operate as academies, meaning their admissions run outside the Cumberland LA co-ordinated process.
