Welcome to Littleover Community School

We are pleased to welcome your child to Littleover Community School as they prepare to begin this important new stage in their education. Our Induction Programme is designed to help students feel confident and well-prepared for the transition to secondary school, with opportunities to meet key staff, get to know their form group, and experience a range of activities that reflect life at LCS.

We also invite parents and carers to attend our Induction Evening, which offers a chance to hear from school leaders, meet form tutors, and learn more about the school. All key induction information can be found on this page, including event details and links to useful resources such as videos, virtual tours, and policy documents. We look forward to working in partnership with you and to welcoming your family into the LCS community.
