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

Lacon students - have your say … direct to the children’s commissioner! Parents and carers, we need your support! The Children’s Commissioner for England is inviting children and young people to take part in **The Big Future**, a national survey designed to give young people a voice on the issues that matter most to them, their futures, and the changes they would like to see. With less than two weeks until the survey closes, we would love more of our students to share their views and make their voices heard. 📝 Complete the survey here: https://www.childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/thebigfuture/ The survey only takes a few minutes and is a fantastic opportunity for children and young people to help shape the future. Thank you for supporting your child to take part. #TheBigFuture #StudentVoice #EveryVoiceMatters #FutureGenerations #HaveYourSay
