Are you an ex-student from Lacon Childe School? If so, we want to hear from you!!
As of this year, we want to create more links between our current pupils and people who previously came to Lacon Childe and educate them on the successful pathways which you have all taken. Whether you left Lacon 2 years ago or 20 years ago, we want to know what you are up to now!
The main aim of this initiative is to not only celebrate the journeys which our alumni have been on since leaving Lacon Childe, but also to raise the aspirations of our current students to make them aware of the endless possibilities they have ahead of them in their future careers.
If you would be willing to share your story and pass on some information, please complete the questionnaire below and we will be in touch.
