LI NHEARTNEWS News and updates from Lionheart Educational Trust | Issue #03 Apr 2023
Welcome to our Spring newsletter
I
am very pleased to share our Spring Term newsletter with you. As you browse through you will see pupils across our Lionheart Schools have been fully engaged and working hard, taking advantage of the array of opportunities to support both their academic and holistic progress. I for one have felt privileged to observe the wholehearted engagement of both students and staff. Academically, the Spring Term is often thought of as the ‘engine-room’ of the year and our young people who will be sitting external examinations this year have been supported in a range of ways. Alongside our consistent focus on high quality teaching, staff have been providing targeted intervention in the form of mentoring, tutorials and after school revision sessions. Our March trials for Year 11 and Year 13 have also provided an assessment opportunity for students to know themselves well and target their revision. I would like to wish all our learners (and their families) lots of luck and best wishes for the forthcoming busy exam season. You will see in this newsletter, a whole range of learning experiences beyond the classroom that have enhanced the education for our students. A few of the highlights
include the phenomenal number of students who have successfully completed their Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, showing their focus on being resilient, resourceful and reciprocal is paying dividends. Groups of our Sixth Form students visited Cambridge University while our Primary Schools made the most of the opportunities linked to World Book Day. We were delighted to receive your feedback on our most recent parent and student surveys. The areas of focus you highlighted last year have shown considerable improvement, with the launch of our Knowledge Organisers - which show you exactly what your children will learn having been particularly popular. As we move towards the Easter Holiday I would like to thank you all for your ongoing support, and would urge you to continue to encourage your children to engage in all aspects of school life. Finally, I wish you all a wonderful break with friends and family. Kath Kelly CEO of Lionheart Educational Trust & Executive Principal of Beauchamp College
