Schools in Wigton

A market town at the centre of the Solway Plain, Wigton sits in the Cumberland district of Cumbria, framed by the Caldbeck Fells to the south and the Solway coast to the north, just outside the Lake District. Around 6,000 people live here.

Wigton itself is the most school-competitive corner of this quiet stretch of Cumbria, drawing families from outlying settlements who look to its town-centre primary provision. The Cumbrian Coast Line connects Wigton station to Carlisle in around twenty minutes, placing the county town within easy reach. Bowness-on-Solway and Silloth are among the wider villages that feed the area's school rolls.
