Independent School (Ages 4-18)
Independent School in Lancashire
Our independent school based in Lancashire has just one mission – to develop better students who go on to be better people. At Westholme, we achieve this by providing world-class opportunities inside and outside of the classroom, instilling positive values into our students and ensuring every child has access to the right level of support.
While most independent or private schools will only accept entries at certain points, we like to take a different approach. That’s why we welcome midstream entries at any point during the academic year, whether that be for our Prep, Senior or INSPIRED Sixth Form department.
