Lacon Childe – Part of Four Stones Gateway Trust

INTEGRITY IS ABOUT DOING THE RIGHT THING

We treat others with respect and honesty. take care of our environment and utilise knowledge and understanding wisely. We nurture our students so that they become young adults of principle and character who support each other in their quest for excellence.

WE ARE COMMITTED
TO BEING THE BEST
WE CAN BE

We consistently deliver on expectations and go the extra mile to get the job done, approaching everything with a “can do attitude”. We constantly look to improve ourselves and our service, cultivating our knowledge, skill, and attitudes to achieve excellence

WE ARE AMBITIOUS FOR OURSELVES AND OUR STUDENTS

We set high expectations and standards and strive to achieve excellence in all that we do. We are unashamedly ambitious for the students we serve. We want to provide access to opportunities within the classroom and beyond. We will continue to strive to be the best we can be.

KNOWLEDGE AND LITERACY MAKE CREATIVITY POSSIBLE

Our schools, where students develop the literacy skills on which all further learning depends, cultivate creativity byproviding a broad base of academic knowledge that students need to be properly creative. The knowledge we deliver is powerful in that it changes students’ perceptions, values and understanding. It encourages students to ask new questions and explore alternate explanations

Year 12 Presentation evening

On 20th November, we held our annual Year 12 presentation evening. It was fantastic to see so many Year 11 students from last year celebrate their hard work and dedication.

CELEBRATING SUCCESS

Students and staff are celebrating GCSE results. The atmosphere on results day was filled with pride and excitement as students, families, and staff reflected on these fantastic accomplishments.

TEACHING AND LEARNING

We are using tried and tested research and cognitive science techniques to develop the teaching and learning at Lacon Childe School.

❄️ Due to the proposed bad weather conditions, Lacon Childe School will be closed on Friday 9th January 2026 ❄️

This is to ensure the safety of our students, staff and families. We ask everyone to take care, stay safe and avoid unnecessary travel where possible.

Work will be sent on Arbor by the class teacher and will be expected to be completed by the next lesson.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school on Monday ⛄️

A huge congratulations to Ruby Britton in 10S 🎄✨ Her brilliant design was chosen as the official Lacon Childe School Christmas card for 2026 - what an amazing achievement!

We were blown away by the creativity, effort and talent shown in all of the entries. Choosing just one winner was no easy task, and every design should be incredibly proud. 🎨👏

Well done to everyone who took part - your imagination truly captured the Christmas spirit!
