Whether your passion is for climbing or ceramics, basketball or fell running, Windermere provides the opportunity to explore, challenge and develop interests. With many different sports and activities, alongside numerous clubs and  societies, there is something for all. personal fulfilment and the development of self-worth in the broadest sense are key educational aims, and lead to both individual and team achievement.

WEEKENDS

Weekend activities are varied and opportunity is provided for those outdoor activities needing longer hours, sporting fixtures and specialist activities. Off-site activities can vary from cinema visits, to the more energetic bowling or ice skating, to a hair-raising theme park visit or a Premier League Football match. Visiting instructors in specialist skills such as music or dance come in to offer their specialist skills and evening social events such as discos, karaoke and quizzes are regular.

WORKSHOPS

To extend the expertise and inspire the pupils, weekend and day long workshops are arranged. Atarah Ben Tovim is a regular visitor, other specialists such as the Scottish Flute Trio have led flute weekends, Richard Ingham recently led a Jazz Weekend, and previously Deborah Catterall, trainer of the National Youth Choir, inspired our vocalists.

Most recently a percussion day gave specialist guidance in orchestral and African drumming. Trips to concerts and other musical occasions are provided for the pupils. Classical events held at Bridgewater Hall in Manchester have been much enjoyed. A visit to Music Live at the N.E.C. Birmingham led to the formation of a student-led group who now perform at the top the bill at our own school prom. International Music Tours are one of the highlights offered to our musicians. In recent years a large group has been to Barcelona and Venice where they performed for local audiences, enjoyed the culture and occasionally some sun and relaxation. The school is supportive of students playing and singing in local and national orchestras and choirs and are always looking for new opportunities.
