In 2023, we were delighted to celebrate our centenary year with a variety of fantastic events. Throughout the year, we warmly invited friends, past and present to join us in our celebrations. From a series of Alumni Centenary Lunches hosted by Mrs Croston (Principal 1988 – 2013), to a Centenary Ball, Party Night and Centenary Concert, we were thrilled that so many could join us in celebrating 100 wonderful years of Westholme, sharing memories and making new ones along the way. It was a brilliant year of recognising our history and everything that makes Westholme unique, from humble beginnings to where we are today.
In our 100th year, we were also pleased to launch our Centenary Pledge which aims to provide the gift of education for future generations. Through our pledge, we are committed to giving access to a Westholme School education to talented and enthusiastic young people. Thank you to all those who have donated so far, and to any that may be interested in partaking in helping future Westholme students, please follow the link above to donate.
The values that were set by our founder, Miss Emily Singleton, are still woven into the fabric of our fantastic school today, contributing to innovative educational excellence in Lancashire and leading the way as the top educational provider. Our commitment is to continue to provide a first-class, holistic education essential for Westholmians to thrive in the 21st century workplace. A spectacular large-scale exhibition was created to showcase our heritage in the foyer of the Croston Theatre, highlights of which can be viewed here.
