Parents and Families of Lime House School

Dear Parents and Families,

We are truly sorry to hear the news of the planned closure of Lime House School.

As a fellow Cumbrian school, we know that a school is so much more than a building. It is a community, a place where children grow in confidence, friendships are formed, and families feel they belong. We can only imagine how difficult and upsetting this moment must be for you and your children.

From our Windermere School family to yours, we want to offer not just a place to visit, but a warm welcome and a listening ear.

If you are beginning to explore alternative schools, we would be delighted to invite you for a personal tour. You’ll have the opportunity to meet our pupils and teachers, explore our beautiful campus, and talk openly with us about your child’s needs, hopes, and the best next step for your family.

Why families choose Windermere School

• A nurturing community in the heart of the Lake District – A co-educational day and boarding school where every child is known and valued.
• Convenient school transport – Our daily bus service from Carlisle and the surrounding area makes Windermere an accessible option for day pupils.
• Flexible boarding – Weekly, full, and flexible boarding options provide greater choice for families, whatever your circumstances.
• Personal guidance – We’re here to help with year-group entry, curriculum pathways, transport, and boarding, ensuring every conversation is centred around what is right for your child.

We know this is an incredibly emotional time. If we can offer reassurance, answer questions, or simply welcome you for a conversation, our door is always open.

With our warmest wishes,

The Windermere School Family
