Update from Mr Wilding - Friday 24th March

Posted 24th March 2023

Mr Wilding has sent an update to parents and carers regarding Industrial Action, Bus Travel, Term Dates, Safeguarding and Ramadan.

To all parents and carers.

Good morning, from LCS.

I have just a couple of brief items in my update this week. If there is nothing significant to report, I will send my next update at the start of next term, so I will wish you all happy Easter and happy holidays now, in case I do not write to you again this term.

Industrial Action

At this time, we have no further details around any planned industrial action from teaching or support staff unions. Further industrial action by teaching and support staff unions is possible, however, so I will inform all students, parents and carers as soon as there are developments.

Bus travel for students

TrentBarton have asked schools to share the attached document with all students, parents and Carers. It contains useful information on ticket options for secondary school students, as well as published routes and information about careers.

School Term Dates

Spring Term ends next Friday, 31st March. School will finish at the normal time of 3pm.

Students return for the start of Summer Term on Monday 17th April and there will be an INSET Day on Friday 21st April.

Safeguarding

I would like to, once again, draw you attention to the important safeguarding information which can be found on our school website. There are some useful links to support agencies and relevant sources of information, as well as details of safeguarding and wellbeing staff and procedures in school; this includes information about how to report concerns during school holidays.

This information can be found on the LCS Safeguarding page.

Ramadan Mubarak

Myself, all LCS staff and our wider school community would like to send our best wishes for a peaceful Ramadan, to all students and families beginning the holy month this week.

Thank you to all parents and carers for your continued support of our school.

Keep safe.

J. Wilding

Welcome to Littleover Community School.

I am lucky enough to have worked at the school since September 2000 and, in January 2020, was asked by Governors to take on the role of Acting Headteacher.  Having now been confirmed as permanent Headteacher in March 2021, I will continue to do everything I can to make LCS the best school it can possibly be, whilst maintaining the safety and wellbeing of all our young people.

We are a large comprehensive secondary school, located to the south west of the City of Derby, close to the main transport routes of the A38 and A50. We pride ourselves on the excellent teaching we provide for all our students, as well as the care and support all students receive to help them achieve their best.

We are committed to a broad and balanced curriculum and our students have achieved outstanding results at both GCSE and A Level for many years now. We also believe in providing all our students with wider opportunities for learning and developing through their work in the classroom, as well as access to extra-curricular opportunities in sport and performing arts.

I hope you find our website informative and easy to use.  We are always happy to receive ideas of how we can improve our service to parents, carers, students and our community. 

If you have any ideas or questions about anything on our website, or more widely about the school, please do not hesitate to contact us.  If you would like a paper copy of our school brochure or paper copies of any of the information contained on our website, these are also available, free of charge.

Littleover Community School.
Learning, Caring, Succeeding.
