The Lakes School

That this House recognises the historic significance of the site of The Lakes School Windermere, where the Windermere Children, child survivors of the Holocaust who were granted asylum by the British Government in 1945, were first welcomed to the United Kingdom; expresses deep concern for the current state of disrepair that the school is in; believes that the redevelopment of the school presents a unique opportunity to create a nationally leading centre of educational excellence focussed on tackling hatred and building empathy among young people; and calls on the Government to support these efforts and to make this important educational legacy a reality.
