To all parents and carers.
Good morning, from LCS.
I have some brief items this morning, in my latest email update.
Survey
Our annual Parent/Carer Survey went live last week and is open for responses until 4pm on Friday 29th November.
Please take a few minutes to complete this survey to provide us with your views about LCS. All feedback will be considered and the more responses we receive the more accurate a picture of parents/carers’ views we will be able to gather.
Thank you to those parents/carers who have submitted their responses already. If you have more than one child at LCS, please submit one response only.
The survey can be completed by copying the link sent in Mr Wilding's email to all parents/carers today.
INSET Day
A reminder to all parents/carers, that Monday 2nd December is a staff INSET Day and school will be closed to students. School staff will be working remotely for this INSET Day and our usual Reception service will not be available.
For how to report urgent safeguarding matters during school closure, please refer to information on our school website:

White Ribbon Day – 25th November
You will hopefully remember that, in 2023, a group of young men from Derby Voices in Action Youth Council collaborated to produce a local campaign for the White Ribbon movement. This movement aims to raise awareness against violence perpetrated towards young women and girls by encouraging young men to stand up against any abuse that they see.
According to a YouGov Poll in 2021, 63% of men agreed that they aren't doing enough to ensure the safety of women and girls.
The 2023 campaign was widely successful and gained national recognition, including winning an award at the National CrimeBeats Awards.
For this year, ViA have worked with their previous partners, GoldBox, who filmed the video we produced in 2023, to produce a series of social media posters centred around this year's theme of #ItstartswithMEn which we hope to distribute all around Derby, from schools to businesses to public places.
Littleover Community School stands firmly in support of this campaign, to continue to raise awareness of the issue.
