LHS Newsletter: 19 January 2024

Dear Parents,

Welcome to the Spring Term! We've had a fantastic start with two and a half weeks full of exciting developments and achievements.

In these early weeks, I am pleased to report the success of our recent transition to a new online assessment method for entrance exams, which saw participation not only from many of our own Year 6 students but also from numerous external applicants.

In the upper years, students have been preparing diligently for upcoming GCSE and A-level exams through mock exams.

In EYFS and the Junior Department, students have enjoyed enriching trips, expanding their horizons beyond the classroom.

Exciting news – after the February half-term we will be offering a new bus route from Market Harborough to the School for added convenience.

As we move forward into the Spring Term, we're excited about the opportunities and achievements that lie ahead.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Mr Alan Whelpdale,

Headmaster
