About schools near Kendal
This page gathers the 55 nearest schools to the centre of Kendal, closest first. The closest is South Lakes Academy, less than a mile away in a straight line. Some sit under a neighbouring town or local authority, because distance does not follow administrative boundaries.
Every school here is inspected by Ofsted. Follow any school for its inspection history and, where results have been published, its exam performance. Distances are measured in a straight line from the centre of Kendal, so a school that is close by road may fall a little further down this list; to see only the schools listed under Kendal itself, open its schools page.
