Welcome to Armathwaite Primary School

A Warm and Nurturing Learning Community in the Heart of Eden Valley

Armathwaite Primary School is a small, friendly, and caring village school serving the wonderful communities of Armathwaite and Ainstable. Nestled in the beautiful Eden Valley, we offer education for children aged 3-11 years in a supportive and inspiring environment.

At Armathwaite, every child is valued. We believe in working together—children, parents, staff, and the wider community—to create a school where everyone thrives. As a true community school, we take pride in fostering strong relationships and encouraging our children to become confident, independent learners.

We are fortunate to have plentiful outdoor space, which plays a central role in our approach to learning. Whether exploring nature, developing independence, or working on hands-on projects, our children gain essential life skills along the way.

"A Small School with Big Opportunities"

Our dedicated team of specialist teachers works together to deliver a rich and high-quality curriculum, ensuring that every child receives the best possible learning experiences. Being a small school means our pupils benefit from:
Personalised learning in a close-knit environment
Buddy groups that encourage teamwork and leadership
Student leadership roles, giving children a voice in their school

We would love to welcome you to our school community! Come and see what makes Armathwaite Primary a special place to learn and grow. - Mrs Stamp, Headteacher.
