INTEGRITY IS ABOUT DOING THE RIGHT THING
We treat others with respect and honesty. take care of our environment and utilise knowledge and understanding wisely. We nurture our students so that they become young adults of principle and character who support each other in their quest for excellence.
WE ARE COMMITTED
TO BEING THE BEST
WE CAN BE
We consistently deliver on expectations and go the extra mile to get the job done, approaching everything with a “can do attitude”. We constantly look to improve ourselves and our service, cultivating our knowledge, skill, and attitudes to achieve excellence
WE ARE AMBITIOUS FOR OURSELVES AND OUR STUDENTS
We set high expectations and standards and strive to achieve excellence in all that we do. We are unashamedly ambitious for the students we serve. We want to provide access to opportunities within the classroom and beyond. We will continue to strive to be the best we can be.
KNOWLEDGE AND LITERACY MAKE CREATIVITY POSSIBLE
Our schools, where students develop the literacy skills on which all further learning depends, cultivate creativity byproviding a broad base of academic knowledge that students need to be properly creative. The knowledge we deliver is powerful in that it changes students’ perceptions, values and understanding. It encourages students to ask new questions and explore alternate explanations

On Thursday 16th our year 9 boys football and girls’ rounders teams travelled to King Charles to play a tournament against the other Four Stones Gateway schools. Unfortunately, our boys came 4th, but the girls came back with a trophy. The team showed excellent determination, skill and competitive nature beating King Charles 14.5 -5, TDMS 11.5-4 and drawing against Haybridge 11.5-11.5. Fantastic performance, especially from Nancy P, Sadie and Sophia who dominated the field against some big hitters and special mention to Nancy G for her excellent batting! Well done to all! #Ambition #Elevate #LoveLacon #LaconMe

We are incredibly proud of our Year 11 students and the hard work and dedication they continue to show. With their first exams fast approaching, we want to take a moment to celebrate their efforts and encourage them to keep going, all that hard work will pay off!
Our fantastic Year 11s are invited to attend their prom at The Barn at Dinthill on Thursday 25th June. It promises to be a wonderful evening, celebrating five memorable years with us, and we cannot wait to welcome them all for this special occasion. #LoveLacon

Well done to our Year 11 students, who have returned to school with focus and determination. It was fantastic to see so many committed students attending revision sessions over the Easter break. A particular mention goes to the 21 Year 11 GCSE Art students who attended an impressive six-hour marathon session — they were brilliant. Thank you also to Mrs Wilding and all other staff who gave up their time over the Easter break to support our students. #Commitment #LaconMe #LoveLacon
