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 brilliant Year 7 team, JJ, Alisa, Evie and Elliot shone at the King Charles School Spelling Bee, making it a fantastic MAT celebration of talent, teamwork and confidence. All four students represented Lacon Childe with enthusiasm and skill. Alisa, Evie and Elliot powered through to Round 2 with confident correct spellings. Elliot advanced all the way to Round 4, finishing joint 3rd overall, an incredible achievement. Great MAT Spirit: The event was upbeat, friendly and full of healthy competition across the Trust. A huge well done to all involved , a brilliant opportunity to connect across the MAT and celebrate our students’ confidence, courage and spelling superpowers. #represent #commitment #ambition #lovelacon
