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.

I think our school is a very special place and in discovering our school, we hope you will think the same.

It is wonderful to be able to see our children develop their art and in these images, layered collage is the knowledge focus. The children have been inspired by The Kaypok Tree and have explored creating collages with layering using their own collage papers. #art #y3 #artists #artistsoninstagram #create #inspire #excellence
