Achieving academically

Lifelong learners never stop growing, often exceeding their ambitions and potential educationally and vocationally. Our expert staff deliver a high-quality, inclusive academic programme that encourages our students to be and stay curious in the classroom and beyond. 

Our school day

Caring, Fun, and Structured Days at LCS

A typical LCS day consists of five periods, tutor time, morning break and lunchtime. We work to a ‘Week A’ and ‘Week B’ timetable, starting with Week A on your child’s first morning at school. Once they’ve started, you can find more information on timetables, homework, and other information at Go4Schools.
