Although [[Education in England|secondary schooling]] in Cumbria has a [[Comprehensive school (England and Wales)|comprehensive]] system almost fully, there is one state [[grammar school]] in Penrith. There are 42 state secondary schools and 10 independent schools. The more rural secondary schools tend to have [[sixth form]]s (although in Barrow-in-Furness district, no schools have sixth forms due to the only sixth form college in Cumbria being located in the town) and this is the same for three schools in Allerdale and South Lakeland, and one in the other districts. Chetwynde is also the only school in Barrow to educate children from nursery all the way to year 11.

Colleges of further education in Cumbria include:
*  [[Carlisle College]]
*  [[Furness College, Barrow-in-Furness|Furness College]] which includes [[Barrow Sixth Form College]]
*  [[Kendal College]]
*  [[Lakes College]]

The [[University of Cumbria]] is one of the UK's newest universities, having been established in 2007. It is at present the only university based in Cumbria and has campuses across the county, together with [[St Martin's College|Lancaster]] and London.
