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

Our KS3 mixed and girls’ KS4 rounders teams are through to the Shropshire County Finals! After a lot of last-minute player changes from both teams, we managed to pull together and deliver! Both teams did not lose one game against Ludlow, Church Stretton and Bishops Castle and demonstrated some very tight fielding, excellent communication and encouragement and speeeeeed around those posts, scoring them halves and rounders, putting pressure on the opposition. Fantastic play from all students! Special mentions to Players’ Players Abbie, Megan, Sadie and Olivia. #lovelacon #represent #ambition

We’re continuing to run pre‑examination sessions for all upcoming exams. These arrangements have already been sent out, and we’ll continue sharing reminders on our social media channels. We’d love to see as many students as possible at these sessions. If attending isn’t possible, students must arrive at least 15 minutes before their exam. Students who remain in school between exams will be based in Room 20 for quiet, individual revision. Let’s make the most of every opportunity and finish the exam season strong. #commitment

Today we said a heartfelt goodbye to our wonderful Year 11 cohort. We looked back on five years of memories, shared so much laughter, and wiped away a few tears too. You have every reason to feel proud of yourselves, each one of you has left a mark on our school, and you will be deeply missed. We will welcome you back after half term for your remaining exams and, of course, for your prom. A huge thank‑you to Miss Martin and Mrs Johnson for creating such a thoughtful and memorable day. To our heads of year, and form tutors thank you for your beautiful words. The love, kindness, and genuine care you all show for our students shone through in every moment. #LoveLacon
