From the Westholme School
I frequently get asked what distinguishes Westholme from other schools. Our shared beliefs and a laid-back but lively environment, where kids come first, hold the key to the solution. The Westholme ethos is firmly based on interpersonal connections, on polite informality, and on the conviction that each and every individual is at the centre of all we do. Our school provides both staff and students with the freedom to be themselves as well as the support they need to study actively, to rise to challenges, and to accomplish their objectives. Our goals are centred on academic success and personal development. We place a high value on character and personal growth; at Westholme, we value friendship, respect, tolerance, and compassion.
