Dates & Events

Never miss a thing, and keep your child’s learning on track by checking term dates, upcoming trips, and events. There’s so much to look forward to during the school year at LCS!

Extracurricular

Part of the fun of studying at LCS is taking learning beyond the classroom. Our students can expand their existing skills and explore new ones in various extracurricular activities before and after school.

Putting Learning First

At LCS, learning always comes first. Our core purpose is education, and we’re committed to meeting the needs of our students with a broad, deep, balanced educational programme.

Caring for our students, and each other.

We’re strongly committed to safeguarding and keeping each other safe and healthy. We’re proud of our relationship with our students and consistently work towards an inclusive school culture.

Learning

Achieving academically

Lifelong learners never stop growing, often exceeding their ambitions and potential educationally and vocationally. Our expert staff deliver a high-quality, inclusive academic programme that encourages our students to be and stay curious in the classroom and beyond.

Our school day

Caring, Fun, and Structured Days at LCS

A typical LCS day consists of five periods, tutor time, morning break and lunchtime. We work to a ‘Week A’ and ‘Week B’ timetable, starting with Week A on your child’s first morning at school. Once they’ve started, you can find more information on timetables, homework, and other information at Go4Schools.
