West Lakes Academy in Egremont, Cumbria, provides education to children from 11 to 18 years old. We opened in September 2008 and moved into our brand new building in March 2012. As an academy, we are independently governed but state funded and free to all children. Like other schools, we are subject to normal OFSTED inspections and work with the Local Education Authority in relation to issues such as admissions
Our vision is to succeed in ‘Changing Lives through Learning’ by providing the very best possible educational opportunities for young people in West Cumbria. We have extremely high hopes for all of our students and our highly skilled and enthusiastic members of staff encourage children to have high ambitions and to work hard to achieve these.

Mrs Stewart recently delivered assemblies to students to raise awareness and reduce the stigma of discussing cancer. Mrs Stewart shared her personal experiences with students and encouraged them to 'know your normal' and report any changes. Students and staff found the assemblies invaluable.
Well done Mrs Stewart. What a powerful assembly.

Each day we will be sharing an element of the A-Z of consent and discussing the issues and misconceptions around them with students in tutor time. Please find some time to also do this in the home as a family #RSEday

Our students had a fantastic time celebrating the end of year 11 at their prom on Friday.
Miss Wightman said: “The atmosphere was electric and the students had a wonderful time dancing and singing the night away, and at one point they were all on the dance floor.
The venue, photographer, DJ and the Prom Committee (especially Imogen Bear and her Mum who helped decorate the venue along with other year 11 students) all did an outstanding job. A fabulous night was had by all.’’
We would also like to thank HCS Water Treatment who donated £500 towards the costs of running the event.
