Once again, our students committed time and energy to taking part in the Macmillan Coffee Morning and a non- uniform day, raising £590, a superb amount for any school, let alone one the size of ours. A real jewel in the crown was the Year 11 Presentation Evening, where the strength of relationships between students and staff really shone through. I know my colleagues thoroughly enjoyed the evening catching up with former students and celebrating their successes. The Freda Trott Foundation has been very generous, once again, by donating £4000 to music education at Settlebeck. Music holds a very special place in my heart, having taught music for 19 years, and this money, in a time where music education is being cut in many schools nationally, allows the What a fabulous start we’ve our numbers have swelled, with an school to provide free instrumental had to the new academic increase in the number of students tuition to GCSE music students and starting in September and by a number to subsidise many other lessons.

  • December 2014
    December 2014 www.thelakesschool.com Dear Parent/Carer Has it really been a whole year since I started at The Lakes School? 2014 really has flown by and I have thoroughly enjoyed working alongside such a talented and committed team of staff who work relentlessly to provide so many wonderful opportunities for our students. During the year, I have spent a lot of time visiting classrooms and have been so impressed by the range of activities taking place in lessons - students are engaged in their learning, benefiting from the fantastic relationships they have with their teachers. Every day, students embrace the fact that we are a caring school and politely interact with staff and each other, with many of our Sixth Form students taking time to look after the younger students. I have received so many positive comments this year from visitors to the school who have been overwhelmed by the good behaviour of our students and the family atmosphere that one visiting teacher said ‘pervades the school’. Trainee teachers have flourished whilst working with our students and temporary teachers have said how much they love the school and would like to teach here permanently. I’m sure you will agree that this is a huge testament to the ethos at The Lakes School. During the year, we have made a number of changes to help improve our service to students and parents, including changes to our reporting schedule so that we now provide a more regular update for parents about their child’s progress. We have introduced our Attitude to Learning standards which clarify exactly what we expect from our students in lessons and we will continue to report on your child’s Attitude to Learning throughout the year.

  • NEWSLETTER to PARENTS and CARERS December 2014
    NEWSLETTER TO PARENTS and CARERS December 2014 Trinity School CO-HEADTEACHERS’ LETTER Dear Parents and Carers Here is the final newsletter for 2014, a busy and eventful year for the school. Thank you for your support and encouragement this term, for the work you do with us to ensure that our students become the best they can be. The key question we have posed to students this term, with reference to both Walt Whitman’s poem and the late Robin William’s performance in ‘Dead Poets’ Society’, is ‘What will your verse be?’ It is such an honour to witness our students as they take up the opportunities that are offered to them and ‘write their verse.’ We will be sad to say goodbye to two staff at the end of term. Mr Lythgoe, Assistant Headteacher with responsibility for Pastoral care, leaves us to become Principal of Deyes Studio School on Merseyside. We are very grateful to him for the excellent work he has done to ensure that our students are well cared for in his time on the school’s Senior Leadership team. We also say goodbye to Mrs Parker, second in the English department, who leaves us to become Head of English at St Benedict’s School in Whitehaven. We will miss them both and wish them well as they take up their new posts. We have made a number of appointments to cover the staff who are leaving. Mr Charnock joins the Senior Team as Assistant Headteacher for Behaviour and Safety. Mr Hall, Head of Nile House, will also work with the Senior Team for the remainder of the year, whilst continuing as Head of House, as Senior Project Leader with a close focus on classroom conduct.
