The newest figures for each school. "1st prefs per place" is how many families put the school first, for each place it gave out. It measures demand, not whether a child would get a place. A dash means the figure is not available.

How the 2026 round went in Westmorland and Furness

Primary

The council's secondary schools between them had 2,857 places for 1,903 applications. That is a total for the whole council and says nothing about any one school in it.

If a family is refused a place

In 2026, families in Westmorland and Furness lodged 43 appeals about a school place.

38 of them were heard by a panel and 17 succeeded, which is about 45 in every 100 heard.

The other 5 did not reach a panel. Most appeals that do not are withdrawn because a place comes up first.

This is a record of decisions already made. A panel hears one case at a time and decides it on what that family sets out, so these figures do not indicate what would happen in any particular appeal.
