Oversands School
Oversands School (formerly Witherslack Hall School) is a private special school with specialist SEN status situated in the village of Witherslack near Grange-over-Sands, Cumbria, England.[1]
It was opened in 1973[2] as a residential and day school for boys aged 11–19 with special educational needs, including complex learning, communication, behavioural, emotional and social difficulties.[3]
The school has now been renamed to Oversands School and is a coeducational school for pupils aged 8 to 19.
The School is now run by Witherslack Group Ltd, a group which provides care and education for children with SEN needs, alongside children's homes.[2]
Witherslack Hall
The school's central building, Witherslack Hall, was built in 1874 by Lancaster architects Paley and Austin and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.[4] It gave its name to a steam locomotive in the GWR Modified Hall Class, 6990 Witherslack Hall.
