Update from Mr. Wilding - 1st July 2022
Posted 1st July 2022
Mr Wilding has sent an update to parents and carers regarding a PCC survey, careers events and site lockdown drills.
Good morning, from LCS.
There are a few items in my update today.
PCC survey
We have been asked to share the information below, with all parents and carers.
Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner, Angelique Foster, has launched a county-wide survey to help her strengthen the policing services local people receive.
As part of her commitment to improving frontline policing and ensuring Derbyshire Constabulary delivers a top-quality service to the public, the Police and Crime Commissioner is inviting residents to share their views about their community safety.
To read more and to complete the survey please visit:
Careers events
Parents/carers of students in Years 9 and 10 have until 4pm this evening (1st July) to book places at our careers information evening, on July 7th. An email has been sent to all Year 9 and 10 parents/carers containing the link needed to book your place.
This exciting new event will be delivered in partnership with Luminate Careers & the D2N2 Local Enterprise Partnership, to help support the best next step for every child.
If you have any questions about this event, please get in touch with our Careers team, by emailing careers.ed@littleover.derby.sch.uk
A final reminder, also, to parents/carers of students in Year 10 that the deadline for returning Work Experience forms is this afternoon (1st July) at 4pm.
The form can be found on our school website, at the link below:
Site lockdown drill
As part of our safeguarding and site security protocols, we will be holding a lockdown drill next week, for all staff and students. The purpose of this is to test our newly installed site alert/sounder system.
As a large school and public building, there are numerous reasons why we may need to instigate a site lockdown, including where there was a chemical leak or fire in the local area, a potentially dangerous animal on site, or the unlikely event of an unidentified and potentially dangerous person on premises. These lockdown drills are standard procedure now in all schools and public buildings and are not an indication of any increased concerns we have over site security or safety.
All staff and students have been briefed on the protocol for the drill, which will take place at some point during the school day next week.
If your child discusses this with you at home, this is what we are doing and why we are doing it. If there is ever a genuine concern over site safety, parents and carers will be informed.
Thank you for your continued support.
Enjoy your weekend.
Keep safe.
J Wilding
