Welcome

Welcome to our website

We hope that as you explore the pages of this website you will receive a clear insight into the culture and ethos of our school.

The Lakes school is an 11-18 mixed comprehensive community school. We are situated in a corner of the UK which is unparalleled for its beauty, cultural opportunities and quality of life. The campus itself is set in close proximity to Lake Windermere and is surrounded by the Cumbrian fells.

At The Lakes we see ourselves as a school community, committed to excellence through our caring, learning environment.  We encourage our students to participate fully in all aspects of school life, knowing this will enrich their education and allow them to become successful students. We believe that these elements combined have made The Lakes School one of the most successful schools in the county.
