Welcome to St Mary’s Church of England School – Kirkby Lonsdale



Located on the edge of Kirkby Lonsdale, our school takes advantage of being situated in the beautiful and historic market town in the Lune Valley. Kirkby Lonsdale is an idyllic place to live on the edge of Cumbria, Lancashire and North Yorkshire, and our school has a long tradition of high quality education in the area. Whether you are a prospective parent or a parent of a child in school, welcome. It is with great pride that I introduce our school – I hope you find our website helpful in giving you and insight into St Mary’s. I think our school is a very special place and in discovering our school, we hope you will think the same.

As we reflect on the Last Supper, Maundy Thursday marks a time of great struggle, which also builds up to a glorious event (Jesus’ resurrection on Easter Sunday). We pray and think about those who are struggling at the moment. #maundythursday #prayer

Each class has begun creating crosses based on their El Salvador Cross on their classroom door. It will be great to see all of the crosses at the end of the week. #eastertime #Easter #cross #faith #christianity #eastercrafts

As you walk around our school, each door has a cross. As we approach Easter and in Holy Week, we recreate he cross on our door to help us understand the various symbols and beliefs painted on our El Salvador crosses. Tomorrow all of the classes will be well on their way with their crosses. #Easter #faith #Lent #happyeaster
