Windemere St Annes

We aim to provide a safe and caring extended family environment where boarding pupils can flourish academically, socially and personally. Full boarding and weekly boarding options are available, and where possible we will try to accommodate flexi boarding arrangements to suit individual needs.

The School also has a strong cohort of day pupils, who integrate well with our boarding pupils and are encouraged to take part in evening and weekend activities.

From 8-16 years, girls and boys board in single sex boarding houses, under the supervision of a Housemaster or Housemistress, who is ably supported by their assistant and academic tutors. The Deputy Head (Pastoral) oversees all boarders in her role as Head of Boarding.

Junior boarders from Elleray have the Pastoral care of Miss Beryl Benn, whose responsibility it is to liase with Elleray staff and parents on any pastoral or other issues. Miss Benn will also take Elleray boarders to and from school each day.

Girls board in well-furnished dormitories in the Senior School house called Browhead. In Year 10 and 11 pupils are given more privacy in single or double study bedrooms. There are common rooms and kitchens also available to the girls. A homely feel exists in the house which is under the care of the Housemistress, Mrs Joyner and her assistant Miss Benn.

Boys board in Langdale House, a purpose built boarding house located at the Senior School which was opened in September 2001. They benefit from excellent boarding facilities, junior and senior common rooms, there are small kitchens to prepare snacks and one of the best views in England, over Windermere and the Lake District fells.
