We are delighted to announce that LFCD has been shortlisted in the Secondary School of the Year category for the TES Schools Awards 2025.
In our entry we detailed how staff here work relentlessly to overcome every barrier or challenge with enthusiasm and we shared our recent “Outstanding” Ofsted report. We also highlighted our Progress 8 score of +0.43, compared to the national average of -0.03. Staff are particularly proud of how well our disadvantaged students perform in national exams.
In addition to a high level of academic success, we shared that LFCD has a strong programme of enrichment activities to help promote the building of knowledge and personal development, such as theatre trips, a Robotics club, the Duke of Edinburgh Awards and even a trip to St Lucia in June.
Our entry detailed how LFCD has had to adapt significantly to the changing needs of young people within the area during the last decade and how hard staff work to ensure that every young person receives the best possible education for their needs.
We will now have to wait until the summer to find out if we have won the Secondary School of the Year award, staff from LFCD will attend a special ceremony for the awards at the Grosvenor Hotel in London in June.
