"A School That Encourages Our Children to Thrive"

Our son has thrived at Ingleton Primary School since starting in Reception. We love the 'tall oaks from little acorns grow' motto and the way the school encourages our children to take risks and learn from their mistakes. The facilities are excellent, and we feel grateful to have such a wonderful school in our community.

"A School That Truly Understands Its Students"

We moved away from the area, but our experience at Ingleton Primary School was one of the highlights of our time in Carnforth. The school's commitment to individualised learning and its values of care and respect for all truly set it apart. We would highly recommend it to anyone.

"A Mixed Experience at Ingleton Primary School"

We've had a bit of a mixed experience at Ingleton Primary School. On the one hand, the school's commitment to outdoor learning is fantastic, and our child loves the variety of activities on offer. However, we've found the communication with parents to be a bit patchy at times, which has left us feeling a bit disconnected from the school. We're hoping this will improve in the future.
