HISTORY:
Windermere School began as St Anne’s School, located in Lytham, St Anne’s, in 1863. The school moved to its current location in Windermere in 1924, when it became St Anne’s School, Windermere. In 1990, the school changed its name again to Windermere St Anne’s and the final alingment with the community came in 2010 when it became Windermere School.
EXTRA-CURRICULAR:
As a school, they strive to do more than equip our children academically for the future. Developing resilience has perhaps never been as important as it is now and their forward-thinking pastoral programme has this aim at its heart.
They focus on teaching children how to proactively manage their mental health, how to appreciate and celebrate the community’s diversity, particularly neurodiversity and how to show compassion and kindness within the Windermere School community and beyond. The work of their form tutors, allowing children to experience mindfulness practice or reflecting with them on good sleep hygiene is supported by the work of our new Wellbeing Centre.
A strong sense of self-esteem can help pupils reach their full potential and their staff embrace their duty to provide support to each and every individual. They believe good relationships are the key to success whether it is on the sports field, academically, creatively, or in outdoor pursuits.
