Our Approach

We view secondary education as being one coherent and continuous experience for our students, which should include a wide range of enrichment experiences that go beyond core lessons.

Our established programme of enrichment activities offers outstanding experiences that students can use to build cultural capital during their journey through the school.

We have established our LST Challenge for all of our students. There are six elements to the LST Challenge and, by meeting each of these, our young people are able to build the cultural capital that they will need to thrive in their school and for the rest of their lives. The six elements of the LST Challenge are outlined below.

Attend extra-curricular enrichment programmes and activities that go beyond the core curriculum.

Represent the school in sporting, academic, community and/or cultural events.

Experience activities that promote cultural growth within school and outside of the school setting.

Take part in activities that will develop core skills in presenting and collaboration with others.

Engage with activities that will raise aspiration and allow you to understand the education and career opportunities available to you.

Access activities that will allow students to appreciate and contribute positively to our local, national and global communities.
