You may feel disappointed that you have been unable to take your SATS that you had been working so hard towards. Rest assured, we understand and will be talking to your current teachers to get as much information about you as possible so that we can support you through this transition. You will have the chance to make a fantastic impression when you join us, and your Form Tutor is excited to meet you and help you become an amazing secondary school student. I was born in Preston and I have spent most of my life living in Lostock Hall. I have worked at Lostock Hall Academy since 2015 and teach Mathematics and Science, something I never would have imagined doing at your age! I attended Lostock Hall Community Primary School and went to Lostock Hall Community High School as it was known then. My favourite subjects in school were Science, P.E. and I.C.T. and I used to struggle with Maths for most of my time in school. However, I had a teacher that helped me learn that if I put my mind to something, I can still be successful. In Year 10, Maths became one of my favourite subjects and I managed to exceed my target grades and went on to study it as an A-Level along with Physics, I.C.T. and Psychology at Runshaw College. I had planned to become a Criminal Psychologist (somebody who explores the behaviour of criminals!) and applied to study Criminology at University but on the final day of college, I changed my mind and wanted to teach Mathematics. I then went on to study Mathematics and Education at Edge Hill University. Starting secondary school can be both exciting and daunting for most students and if you feel anxious, you will not be alone. It is completely normal! Even the confident students will still feel a little nervous the day before they start. I want you to see this as a challenge, to push yourself to try new things, make new friends and nurture your skills in a wide range of subjects with specialist teachers who are passionate about their subjects. I have been a Year 7 tutor for the last 4 years so I have come across all sorts of questions and worries that you might have, and I am confident that there are lots of things we can do to make you feel better. I hope this booklet is useful to you and if it answers just a few of your questions it has done its job. I look forward to meeting you all in September. Mr Gornall – Year 7 Lead 5 WHO’S WHO? MR GORNALL – YEAR LEAD I will be responsible for making sure your transition to secondary school is as smooth as possible. I will be monitoring each student in Year 7 and paying close attention to behaviour for learning and progress. MR JOLLY – FORM TUTOR L I’m really looking forward to meeting and welcoming all the new year 7 students to LHA, especially those who will be in 7L with me. An important part of my role as a Year 7 tutor is to get to know you and support you in your transition to secondary school and throughout your time as a valued member of the LHA community. MR EYLES - FORM TUTOR H I am a Maths teacher at Lostock Hall Academy, and I am really looking forward to meeting you all and welcoming you to our school. Things are going to be a bit different for everyone when we’re back but for you it’s going to be even more strange, starting a whole new school. Don’t worry though that’s why we’re here, to help you and we will support you and guide you at every stage. I bet you can’t wait to get started on some secondary school Maths problems and I can’t wait to teach and help you with them! See you very soon. MISS TOWNLEY- FORM TUTOR T Welcome to the LHA community! I am very excited to meet you all and I look forward to welcoming 7T as my form group. Together, we will make your transition to high school as smooth as possible. I look forward to getting to know you all as you embark on the exciting journey ahead of you. MISS RENNOX - FORM TUTOR C I am a P.E. teacher who enjoys being involved in many different sports and physical activities, I currently play netball and regularly participate in fitness sessions at the gym. I support Wigan Warriors rugby! I am eager to get many students involved in sports regardless of ability. Our motto in school is ‘sport is for all’, therefore I hope to see you getting involved in some of the sports clubs when you join us. MRS ABRAM - FORM TUTOR K My name is Mrs Abram and I will be your form tutor during your first year at Lostock Hall Academy. As well as being your tutor I also teach Food Preparation and Nutrition. I’m sorry that I won’t be able to meet before September but I am really looking forward to seeing you all in the new academic year. I will do everything I can to make sure that you have a smooth and happy transition into our school and look forward to getting to know you all. MISS ASHTON - FORM TUTOR S Hello, my name is Miss Ashton and I am the form tutor of 7S and also a P.E. and Geography teacher. I am so happy you have chosen this school and I cannot wait to meet and welcome you all to LHA. I love working at LHA because I am privileged to be able to work with some amazing students and staff.

  • 5. Network Planning for Walking
    Central Lancashire Walking and Cycling Delivery Plan 5. Network Planning for Walking The future walking network has been derived through identifying those areas which would benefit from creating a sustainable link between trip origins and trip destinations within a reasonable walking distance of approximately 2km. Trip origins predominantly include densely populated residential areas and trip destinations include educational, employment and retail areas which are likely to attract a significant number of trips. As part of this process, funnel routes have been identified which incorporate the route which most pedestrians will follow to access a particular destination, however given the diverse nature of pedestrian movements, the routes do not extend into particular destinations since the route of each individual user will vary depending on their individual trip origin/end. In alignment with LCWIP guidance, Core Walking Zones have also been identified from identifying the area within each town which encompasses the greatest amount of trip attractors and therefore likely the generate the greatest levels of walking. The Four Core Walking Zones (CWZ) identified are: • Preston CWZ; • Lostock Hall CWZ; • Leyland CWZ; and • Chorley CWZ. 41 Central Lancashire Walking and Cycling Delivery Plan 5.1 Proposed Walking Routes 5.1.1 Preston Core Walking Zone Figure 5-1 Preston CWZ / Funnel Routes The Preston CWZ proposals will improve facilities for both pedestrians and cyclists alike, making it safer and easier to access Preston inner city centre, UCLAN, Cardinal Newman College, and transport hubs such as Preston Railway and Bus Stations. Measures predominantly involve pedestrian priority / informal streets, to improve the safety and accessibility of the town centre for pedestrians.

  • PROUD Balshaw's CE High School Parent and Leyland-Based
    PROUD Balshaw's CE High School parent and Leyland-based freelance writer Malcolm Wyatt was invited along to help advise the teams and judge the projects at July 11's South Ribble area AGT event. Here's what he made of the challenge. I DON'T think I'm talking out of turn when I let on that my fellow judge at the Balshaw's-hosted year seven and eight able, gifted and talented (AGT) day confided - as our big announcement loomed - this was the hardest decision she'd ever had to make. Nicola Moulden, an English teacher at Runshaw College, and myself were about to reveal - doing our best to avoid any unnecessary X Factor/Apprentice style build-up - the winners of the spring term's Super Learning event. There were two teams from Balshaw's alone, plus similarly fantastic groups representing Hutton Grammar School, Lostock Hall Academy, and Leyland’s St Mary's Catholic Technology College and Worden Sports College. And believe me, it was no easy task to pick a winner. The level of competition was amazing, and each school involved can be rightly proud of the pupils that represented them, for their courtesy as well as their creative endeavours. The idea, devised by Balshaw's head of English, Mr Purnell, was to write an 800 to 1,000 word story aimed at six to seven-year-old boys and girls, about a family day-trip to a theme park. On the journey there is a problem, and at the park a child goes missing. The teams were also asked to design a front and back cover and poster to advertise the book, and produce a script for a radio advert.

    SAMLESBURY Church of England Primary School NEWSLETTER 29/03/2019 YEAR 5/6 AUTHOR VISIT TO KIRKHAM GRAMMAR SCHOOL – Yes, it really is Dermot O’Leary who we are sat next to! We spent the afternoon listening to what inspired him to write his children’s stories (they are actually based on his two cats!) as well as watching a webinar from his book illustrator who showed us how to draw cartoon illustrations based on his character Toto the Ninja Cat. The books are great and Dermot O’Leary certainly inspired our children to write for themselves and to enjoy reading. Thank you to Sue and Caroline for helping with transport. SPORTS NEWS - FOOTBALL: This Monday was the last of the football tournaments for this academic year. Thank you to all the parents who helped with transport and came to support the team. Adam Metcalf, Oscar’s dad, came to them all and put together a parent’s view report on the year’s acheivements: “It was a pleasure to attend the 3 sessions of the schools football tournament. Given we had a mixture of years 4, 5 and 6 and we were playing teams who looked like mainly year 6, all the boys gave their all with some great performances. They ended up finishing 7th out of 11, with some exciting games. All of them were well mannered and behaved, and did their best without any complaints. WELL DONE ALL ⚽️ ”” The team’s report: “Before Christmas and on the 4th, 11 th SAMLESBURY SUPERSTARS! and 25th of March we competed in a very competitive competition at Lostock Hall Academy.
