A Students Guide To LCS
This guide is here to help you feel ready and confident about starting at Littleover Community School. Inside, you’ll find everything you need to know — from what to wear and bring, to how the school day works, what subjects you’ll study, and how we’ll support you along the way.
It also answers common questions, explains what to expect on your Induction Days, and gives a sneak peek at the clubs and activities you can get involved in. Whether you're feeling excited or a bit nervous (or both!), this guide will help you feel more prepared for your first day at LCS.
Starting at a new school is a big step, and it's completely normal to feel a mix of excitement and uncertainty. At Littleover Community School, we want you to feel welcome, supported, and ready to make a confident start.
In these videos, you’ll meet some of the staff you’ll be seeing regularly, your Heads of Year, Assistant Head Teachers, and our Safeguarding Lead. They each play an important part in helping you settle in, find your way around, and feel part of the school community.
If you have any questions after watching, don’t worry, you’ll have plenty of chances to speak to staff and ask for help during your induction days.
Computer and internet use.
At LCS, we use computers and the internet to support a lot of the work you’ll be doing in lessons. Some of you may already feel confident using technology, while others might be less familiar — and that’s absolutely fine.
To help everyone stay safe and make the most of our IT systems, we’ve put together a clear set of rules. These will guide you on how to use school computers responsibly and respectfully, whether you're researching, completing homework, or sending an email.
What You Should Do:
Always use your own username and password — never share them with anyone else.
Only use the internet and school computers for your learning and schoolwork.
Be polite and respectful in all emails and messages. Write clearly and check before sending.
Ask a teacher before emailing anyone outside of school.
Tell a teacher straight away if you see anything worrying or inappropriate online.
Respect copyright — always do your own work and never copy or paste someone else’s.
Keep your personal information private. Don’t share your name, address or school online.
Help keep our school systems safe and secure for everyone by using them responsibly.
What You Must Not Do:
Don’t use anyone else’s login, or let anyone else use yours.
Don’t use school systems for anything unrelated to your education.
Don’t visit chat rooms or use social media at school.
Never use the internet to bully, tease or upset others.
Don’t download or view anything unsafe or inappropriate.
Don’t buy or sell things online, gamble, or try to make money using school systems.
Don’t use school IT for advertising or political activity.
Don’t do anything to harm or break the security of our systems.
Remember: all school computer use is monitored to keep everyone safe.
Everything you do on school computers is monitored, so if the rules aren’t followed, you may lose access or face other consequences. We trust you to use technology sensibly, and when you do, it becomes a brilliant tool for learning and creativity at LCS.
