John Ruskin School

John Ruskin School, much smaller than most secondary schools, is situated in Coniston, in Cumbria, in the Lake District National Park. There are 170 pupils on roll, including a small number who joined the school after Year 7. Pupils come mainly from the surrounding small towns and villages, with an
average mix of social and economic backgrounds. The school is part of the Rural Academy, a group of nine small schools in Cumbria which was awarded Technology College status in 2004, and a member of the South Lakes Federation of Schools.
