Schools in Millom

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

Millom is a Cumbrian coastal town on the southern edge of the Lake District, with 9 schools including 7 primaries and a single secondary. Three schools have a Church of England or Catholic foundation, and one primary is currently at capacity. Three of the five Ofsted-rated schools hold Good or Outstanding grades.

Cumberland Council (formerly Copeland) administers admissions for Millom schools. The town's relative geographical isolation means most families are served by local schools, but the selective Grange-over-Sands area is within reach for secondary-age pupils seeking grammar provision.
