  • 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.
