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

Some of our students have recently returned from Poland, where they had the opportunity to bring their history learning to life by visiting significant historical sites firsthand. One of the most profound experiences of the trip was their visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau, a deeply moving and thought-provoking experience that will stay with them for years to come. A huge thank you to all the staff who dedicated their time and effort to organising and accompanying this visit. Their commitment ensured that our students were able to take part in such a valuable and memorable educational experience. #ambition #elevate #lovelacon

What a day at Lacon! Today we welcomed Medical Mavericks, who delivered an incredible hands‑on experience for our Year 9s and some of our Year 8s. Students took blood, scanned their bones, tried mock keyhole surgery, measured vitals, checked blood pressure, pulse and heart rate — they even carried out ECGs! It was a brilliant opportunity to explore the huge range of careers in the NHS, from clinical leads and medical engineers to dieticians, managers and even chefs. Our students have been absolutely buzzing! 🔬💙 #lovelacon #characteracademy #elevate
