Westholme School provides a unique independent education for students aged 4-18, all together on one site in the rural Lancashire countryside. The single site encompasses a state-of-the-art Prep building, Senior School and Sixth Form where we provide world class opportunities for our pupils. Westholme, voted Independent Schools of the Year 2023, offers a distinctive educational experience which empowers pupils to discover who they are, and their unique talents are encouraged and celebrated.
Our swimming pool, tennis courts and full-sized astro turf, along with science laboratories, 3D Computer Aided Design technology, and a professional theatre – perfect for drama, public speaking and performing – ensure experiences like no other! Whilst most children make transitions at typical points of Reception, Year 7 or Year 12, this is by no means the binding rule. At Westholme we welcome midstream entries at any point throughout the year.
Join us for an immersive tour to find out why Westholme is the best choice for your child.
