Windermere School is a coeducational, day and boarding school for ages, 3-18 in the heart of the English Lake District National Park. With access to a spectacular greater classroom, we can really live our school motto: Vincit qui se Vincit. One conquers, who conquers oneself.
Windermere School offers students an outstanding education that combines academic achievement with a host of extra-curricular activities, all underpinned by a spirit of adventure. Our traditions and ethos create a supportive community within the school, where strong relationships exist between staff and students.
Each student is known as an individual and this allows us to offer exceptional pastoral care.
Windermere School is nestled on a hillside within 45 acres of the National Park landscape that inspired such writers as Beatrix Potter and William Wordsworth. Overlooking Lake Windermere, the fells and mountains beyond, Windermere School enjoys one of the most picturesque views in the Lake District and, arguably, the best school view in the world.
Outdoor Learning is woven throughout every aspect of the curriculum at Windermere School, with Adventure not merely being an activity, but a way of life. Hodge Howe is our Private Watersports Centre, located on Lake Windermere. Here our students learn to sail, kayak, canoe and embrace the spirit of adventure, which is central to life here at Windermere School.
