We are pleased to share with our school community that Littleover Community School has been selected as one of just fifteen Phase 1 lead schools for the NCLE Language Hubs initiative. We will be helping to support high quality language education in England by working with identified partner schools.
Recognising the value of good language education both to students and to the country, the NCLE is creating a national network of up to 25 lead hub schools across England. Each lead hub school will deliver training to up to seven partner schools to improve standards of language teaching and learning across the country.
The key aims for the NCLE are to:
The NCLE is funded by the Department for Education (DfE) and delivered by IOE, UCL's Faculty of Education and Society (UCL IOE) in partnership with the British Council and the Goethe-Institut.
You can find out more about this project on the NCLE website
The first group of hub schools has been selected and Littleover Community School is one of them. Having been recognised by the NCLE for the quality of our language teaching, we will be training a small number of partner schools to share best practice, discuss ideas and support quality language learning activities. We're working on our plans now and will send regular updates as the project develops.
Languages are crucial for work and life in our globally competitive economy. We believe that languages and intercultural awareness can help to foster universal understanding and contribute to building a peaceful and harmonious world future.
The Department for Education recognises that, as a country, we need more and better language skills and that these add value and widen opportunities for individuals, communities and society.
The ability to speak other languages is an incredibly useful asset for students, both professionally and personally. Research shows that there are clear educational, personal, cultural, social and career benefits in being able to communicate confidently in another language.
There is a particular emphasis in the NCLE on delivery high quality language learning to students from disadvantaged areas to support improvements in social mobility.
The government is especially keen to promote the learning of German, because the numbers studying this important language have fallen in recent years. That's why the Gothe-Institut is a key partner.
Their GIMAGINE project promotes and supports the learning of German as a foreign language in the UK. The project centres around students, teachers and schools. Apart from offering initiatives for professional advancement to German teachers, the project can fund learning German through scholarships and provides schools with classroom materials and teaching resources.

We are extremely excited about developing this project at LCS and the benefits it will bring to our students and those in our partner schools.
Anyone requesting further information on this project should contact Mrs C Spalding (Deputy Headteacher).

We are very pleased with the results our Year 11 students have achieved at GCSE level this year.
OFQUAL guidance is that it is 'most meaningful to compare this year's results with those of 2019' and, on this basis, our students have done exceptionally well and their resilience and determination to succeed has been rewarded with excellent grades. The vast majority of students will have achieved the results needed for their first choice Post-16 option.
We would like to congratulate all students and thank all parents and carers for your support over the last 5 years.
Students can collect results in the Main Hall from 9am on Thursday 24th August and students offered places to LCS Sixth Form should complete the electronic enrolment form by the end of the day, if they wish to accept this offer.
Thank you.

It has been another excellent year for A Level results at Littleover Community School. Despite having their education severely disrupted by the pandemic, students have produced a set of results that is in line with some of the school's best ever year groups.
Most importantly of all, with virtually all subjects recording a 100% pass rate and the average grade across all entries being a B, students will be in a strong position as they move forward toward their chosen post 18 option, whether it be university, apprenticeship or employment.
We wish all our students the best of luck in their future lives and careers.
