LHS Newsletter:13 December 2024

{item_alt_tag}

Dear Parents,

As the festive season approaches, I wanted to take a moment to look back on some of the wonderful highlights from the past few weeks at LHS. Our youngest pupils delighted us all with their charming nativity play, The Landlord's Cat – a real treat for everyone who attended.

We’ve also embraced the festive spirit in true LHS style. Our Candlelight Carol Service was magical, setting the tone for the season, while Christmas Jumper Day and our traditional Christmas lunch brought plenty of cheer to the School.

A special mention must go to our talented drama students, who wrote and performed a play at local schools. Their creativity and hard work were inspiring and made us all incredibly proud.

Finally, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to our food collection for local food banks. Your kindness and generosity reflect the true spirit of the season and the values that underpin our School community

Wishing you and your families a peaceful and joyful Christmas.

Mr Alan Whelpdale,

Headmaster

Bus Service

In September 2024, we re-launched our home-to-school bus service from Market Harborough, since when, we have offset 1.5t of CO2 emissions.

The flexibility of the service has enabled us to add two new stops since the start of term: in Wigston and Stoughton Close, Oadby.

Passengers have rated the service 4.8 stars out of 5, so we recommend those living near the Market Harborough route to request a promo code from contact@zeelo.co to trial the service!
