Wonder of the Lake District at Keswick School

Posted: 15th October 2024

When you live and work in Keswick in the Lake District it is easy to become blasé about the surrounding beauty and natural wonders.  This is why, when new boarders join us, it is such a thrill to take them to places like Whinlatter Forest and Surprise View which overlooks Lake Derwentwater.

We attract many international boarders who have not had these kind of experiences and absolutely relish in climbing the fells on a weekend, enjoying the sense of freedom it brings and of course, the very important packed lunch which always tastes amazing when you’ve reached the top.  Joking aside, the benefits of getting outside for boarders’ well being is crucial and something we take very seriously at Keswick, with wellbeing prefects appointed in the house and a programme of information evenings.

Our weekend activities are all included in the fees and are chosen by the pupils ahead of each term. Other activities include; sailing, horse riding, swimming, laser quest, trampoline park, crafts, baking to name but a few….
