Caldew School is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form located in the Village of Dalston in Cumbria, England.[1]
The school educates just over a thousand pupils including Sixth Form, with around one hundred teaching staff. The school's logo is an image of a cockerel, which is also used by the village of Dalston. The school's motto is 'aspire, believe, achieve.' It used to be 'While I live, I crow'. Caldew pupils take part in activities competing with pupils from other schools in the county in sports such as football, rugby and cross country running.
Caldew School converted to academy status on 1 August 2011.
