Children
Every Child Known, Valued & Supported
From Nursery to Year 6, we nurture every child's unique talents and potential. Discover our classes, pupil leadership opportunities, and the rich experiences that make childhood at Lanercost truly special.
At Lanercost, we believe that every child deserves an education that allows them to flourish. Our small class sizes mean that every child is truly known—their strengths celebrated, their challenges supported, and their voice heard. From our youngest learners in Nursery to our confident Year 6 pupils preparing for secondary school, we create a nurturing environment where children can grow academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.
Pupil Voice & Leadership
Children have a real say in school life through our School Council, House Captains, and various leadership roles. We listen to our pupils and value their ideas, fostering confidence and responsibility.
Outdoor Learning & Enrichment
Our rural location provides unparalleled opportunities for outdoor learning, forest school activities, and connection with nature. Children explore, discover, and develop resilience through real-world experiences.
We are committed to developing the whole child. Beyond academic excellence, we focus on character development, wellbeing, creativity, and community engagement. Our children leave Lanercost as compassionate, confident, and curious young people ready to make a positive difference in the world.

We celebrate success, support one another through challenges, and create a community where every child feels they belong and can thrive.
