On Monday 28 April, a very special milestone was reached at Windermere School as we opened the doors to our brand-new Pre-Prep and Prep facilities. There was a real sense of excitement and wonder as our children stepped into their new classrooms for the very first time. Throughout the day, pupils explored the beautiful new spaces designed to support and inspire their learning—and it was a joy to see their enthusiasm!

In the afternoon, we were delighted to welcome families to join us for a celebratory afternoon tea on the terrace. Afterwards, the children proudly became tour guides, leading their families through the new building and showing off their favourite areas. It was a fantastic day full of pride, community spirit and excitement for the future.

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this possible—from staff and contractors to parents and supporters. Your efforts and encouragement have helped turn our vision into a reality.

There is still more to come! On Thursday 16 May, we will be holding our Grand Opening, and we warmly invite the whole community to join us in celebrating this wonderful addition to our school. To attend, please book your place here.
