“11 years at Windermere school”

"> Windermere school excels on all levels It is a caring ,exciting, challenging and joyful school. My child has flourished with the care and attention she has received from this school. She is now a well-rounded, intelligent 14 yr old . Her experiences at the school have involved a wide range of activities including trips to Barcelona to sing Mozart's Requiem in Latin with the choir around the Cathedrals. She has gained grade 5 ABRSM flute exams and trophies for solo flute performance at Mary Wakefield festival. She has gone caving in Scotland, diving in Tenerife, and 2-star kayaking on Windermere. To top it all she is successful academically . The school has instilled a healthy respect for authority, manners and a confident composure which gives her a head start to take a caring place in adult society. I am so grateful to all at Windermere school for the huge successes they continue to make every year.

Windermere School Catchment Area Map

This school is independently managed and its admission criteria may be selective. There is no set catchment area as pupils are admitted from a wide variety of postcodes and, in the case of boarding schools, from outside the UK.
