Windermere School enjoys a unique location in the heart of the Lake District National Park. The School overlooks Lake Windermere, and has its own Watersports Centre, yet is only 30 minutes from Junction 36 on the M6 and just over 90 minutes by road from Manchester and Liverpool Airports.

The school runs its own complimentary shuttle service to the airports on designated travel days. Windermere Town also has its own railway station with direct links to Manchester and London.
