Impact Statement

In addition to its primary purpose, the Trust provides a number of services and experiences to local primary schools free of charge. In 2018, these included a Chemical Magic Show; a Watersports Day and a Raspberry Pi Day (exploring computing) . Pupils from other schools attended the Junior Campus production and 118 pupils from four primary schools attended the Senior School Musical Production. The Junior Campus also hosted a Cross-Country event for 23 primary schools, with 432 children participating.

The Head of one school attending the Chemical Magic Show wrote: “What Windermere School provided was a Science experience that primary schools are unable to provide without the specialist experience of a committed and creative group of scientists that you have. Your Science staff staged the event perfectly for a mixed audience of children and primary teachers. Without your support, I know our local primaries would not have this rich opportunity to excite young people about Science.”

Sailing and Watersports tuition at the School’s lakeshore Watersports Centre was enjoyed by 150 children (15 children on 10 days during the Summer and Autumn terms, for two local primary schools) at minimal charge and the Trust also provides a high quality School Meals Service to six local primary schools – approximately 210 meals per day – again for a minimal charge, enabling the children to have a cooked meal at lunch-time.

As the School is an approved local Examinations Centre, approximately 150 children take graded Music Examinations each year (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music, London College of Music and Trinity College, London). Four home-schooled external pupils took GCSE examinations at the School in May/June 2018.

As part of our Service programme students have provided assistance at three local primary schools.
