This page gathers the 31 nearest schools to the centre of Penrith, closest first. The closest is Clifton Primary School, 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.
