Westholme is the largest independent fee-paying school in Blackburn. Westholme was allowed to move to mixed-sex status (up to age 11) in 2003, although Westholme continued the tradition of single sex education, that is boys and girls are taught separately. The school is part of the Manchester Consortium for the somewhat controversial eleven plus exam [http://www.westholmeschool.com/information/info_admissions.html] .

In 2004, Westholme was awarded the prestigious Sportsmark Gold for its outstanding achievements in sport throughout the school.
