  • Cornish Times - “School Report”
    T R eflection The R eflection achieving more together January/FebruaryMay 2019 2020 www.liskeard.cornwall.sch.uk @Liskeard_School The magazine of Liskeard School & Community College Head’s Letter Dear Parents, Carers and Friends of Liskeard School, As we hit the half-way mark of the academic year, it is a good time to reflect on what we have achieved so far and what we still need to do to ensure we get the best out of students. As always, there have been numerous activities taking place outside of the classroom, some of which are celebrated later in the magazine. These extra- curricular activities are a great way for students to develop personally: making new friendships, learning new skills, building confidence and raising aspiration. Our ‘In the Spotlight...’ feature this edition is a focus on students’ personal development from joining the school through to leaving us after Year 13. We have created an overview of the opportunities students are given as well as the character and attributes we are trying to develop. I hope you find it interesting. At this time of year I start to think about our areas for development as a school. To help with this, please could you use OFSTED’s Parent View survey to feedback your comments about your experience of ‘Team Liskeard’. The link to the survey is below. https://parentview.ofsted.gov.uk/login?destination=give-your-views We are currently exploring various changes to the school day for the next academic year. This includes the length of lessons, when tutor time takes place, how long break and lunch are and the timings of the school day.
