But I see the cherry trees are coming into blossom and the daffodils were resplendent for St David’s Day so the Easter holidays will soon arrive and it will nearly be public exam time too, this year seems to have flashed bye so far and I sometimes struggle to keep pace. I am delighted to be able to tell you that we have a new Parent Governor; Ms Babs Pierre who has a son in Year 7 and we hope a daughter joining us in September in the next Year 7. She is a welcome addition to our school Governors, joining us with lots of experience of school governorship in the LB of Newham. I’m sure everyone will join me in welcoming her and we look forward to her future contributions to making Lammas even better. I have to, with some personal sadness, inform you that former Councillor and Mayor of Waltham Forest, Mr Tarsem Bohgal has tendered his resignation from the Governing Body with immediate effect. His resignation is prompted by personal circumstances and I have on behalf of the Governors accepted his resignation whilst thanking him for his time and effort that he has put into helping the school aspire to its potential.

  • Meet Our Governors
    Lammas School and Sixth Form / Staff Handbook / Governors Meet our Governors Ted Cooke –Chair of Governors I became Chair in September 2013 prior to this I was Vice Chair since the setting up of the temporary governing body for what was then referred to as the new South Leyton Secondary School way back in the last century! I am local born in Upper Walthamstow Road, and attended schools in the borough before going off to train as a teacher at the time in preparation for the raising of the school leaving age and that was from fifteen to sixteen. My home and heart has always been in the London Borough of Waltham Forest and I now live in the leafy corner of Chingford. I have three grown up children and one grandson whilst my partner, a Councillor in Leytonstone, has two children and four grandchildren. I taught first in the old ILEA and soon became involved in special education and following taking an advanced dip in special educational needs and educational psychology I moved to Newham where I was first a Deputy Head of a school for maladjusted secondary aged pupils and then the Head of a school for children with complex learning difficulties. Being a dyslexic and dyspraxic this seemed a natural choice but at the same time I also appreciated the positive needs of many special needs pupils to be in mainstream schools and took part in the early debates on inclusion and the closure of special schools. Indeed I oversaw the integration of my special school into three mainstream schools before spending some time as an advisory Head working on such new things as IT and LMS for special needs and assisting in the integration of a school for physically handicapped children into mainstream schools.

  • NEWSLETTER Spring 2020
    Lammas School and Sixth Form NEWSLETTER Spring 2020 Monday 24th February 2020 Dear Parents and Carers We are so proud to have heard from ex-students about their recent successes, having gone on to great things following their time at Lammas School. Two of our past students feature later in this newsletter, both demonstrating that hard work and commitment pays off. Both Zohra and Azi are clearly destined to be highly successful, and this is down to putting in the hours and being resilient. As we draw nearer to exam season, it is vital that students attend school every day. A lesson missed can mean the difference between a pass or fail, and to be successful in future life students must understand how vital study, preparation and positive mental attitudes are. Every student, and especially those nearing exams, have clear guidelines on how to prepare at home, using the online resources as well as essential reading as directed by class teachers. All parents who were not able to make the recent Y11 Parents’ Evening will be contacted directly to discuss current attendance and progress, with an emphasis on how best to support students at home. The extra effort put in at this time of year will enable your children to be successful, and ensure that when they open the envelope with their exam results in August, they have clear pathways to a next step in learning which will take them to happy and productive futures. Mike Davis, the social commentator, tells us that the urban population of the earth outnumbers the rural, and that this happened sometime in the last decade.
