“Windermere School is unique. Set amidst the stunningly beautiful mountains and lakes of Cumbria, it delivers an exciting and forward-thinking curriculum, shaping the hearts and minds of the next generation. We aim to educate children to be capable and thoughtful, resourceful, courageous and caring.
This is a school where young people can enjoy their schooldays and parents can be confident that their children are following the very best pathways to university and to adult life.
