Mission Statement
Unrivalled Holistic Excellence
Celebrating 100 Wonderful Years of Westholme
This is a momentous year in our history as we celebrate our centenary. In 1923, Emily Singleton pioneered a new type of education in Blackburn. The visionary grit, determination and aspiration shown by her has been a defining characteristic of all Westholmians throughout the last century. Academic success in the classroom was a given, but the remarkable ethos of Miss Singleton’s vision was rooted in developing the whole child – inside and outside the classroom. This is the ethos that still sets Westholme apart as we instil unrivalled holistic excellence 100 years on.
