Witherslack Hall School was situated in the village of Witherslack near Grange-over-Sands, Cumbria, England. It was opened in 1973[1] as a residential and day school for boys aged 11–19 with special educational needs, including complex learning, communication, behavioural, emotional and social difficulties.[2] The school has now been renamed to Oversands School.[1]
