About schools near Whitehaven
Here are the 60 nearest schools to Whitehaven, ordered by how far each one sits from the centre. The closest is St Begh's Catholic Junior School, less than a mile away in a straight line.

Ofsted inspects the schools on this page. Follow any school for its inspection history and, where results have been published, its exam performance.
