A very warm welcome to Windermere School. We are a school that is as unique and all-encompassing as our idyllic location on the banks of England’s largest lake at the very heart of this UNESCO World Heritage site.

Place only makes up one element of what makes our school so special, of equal importance is people. We are a family as much as we are a school, a home away from home for many of our pupils and we achieve this because we care. We have the capacity to care about every one of our pupils because of our size.

Small class sizes and dedicated staff that offer wrap-around care throughout the school year ensures that when parents choose Windermere School they do so safe in the knowledge that their children will be learning and living in a place of comfort, security and belonging.

The final element that makes us such a special place to live and learn is our curriculum and the experiences we provide. In everything we do we seek to challenge and inspire, to find that real depth of learning that we know exists just beyond the edge of our comfort zones. Whether it be in our classrooms, on the mountains, out on the lake or taking on an opposition team on the sports pitch, our pupils embrace and look forward to those challenges; driven to succeed, whilst confident enough to try and potentially fail, and always looking to learn whatever the outcome.

You are all warmly invited to come and experience the very special environment that is Windermere School and we hope to welcome you soon.

– Mr Frank Thompson, Head of Windermere School
