A Message From The Principal

When you first visit Westholme School you immediately sense the warm, family atmosphere from the students and staff. This wonderful, vibrant community is a fabulous place to learn and achieve; it is hard to find a school that does it better and very easy to understand why we are the top school in Lancashire. The magnificent rural setting and first-class facilities provide a stimulating environment that is simply inspirational.

For a hundred years, Westholme has provided a distinctive educational approach. It is rooted in our unrivalled holistic excellence that educates the whole child. We place an equal importance on the performing arts, creative arts and technology, academia and sport through a plethora of experiences inside and outside the classroom; this fosters happy, confident and well-rounded young people.

It is the quality of the relationships and the personalised approach that makes Westholme so successful. Our students are at the heart of everything we do: they love coming to school, are fulfilled, purposefully aspirational and form life-long friendships. Small acts of kindness are valued in equal measure alongside achievements in national competitions.

Through the recent completion of our new state-of-the-art Prep building, all students are now educated within the Wilmar Lodge campus on Meins Road. This exciting multi-million pound investment has created a landmark moment in Westholme’s distinguished history now providing a seamless education for our whole 4 – 18 family on one incredible site.

I warmly invite you to visit us soon and experience for yourself our innovative educational philosophy that fully prepares each individual student with the required skills for success in the rapidly evolving 21^st century workplace.

I very much look forward to welcoming you to Westholme soon.

Dr Richard Robson

Principal
