High Flyers

The 2021 High Flyer Programme is based on the 18 Qualities of an LNPS Graduate. Students are encouraged and supported to take charge of their own learning and the High Flyer Award is designed for our seniors to develop as powerful learners by providing evidence of their attributes, skills and achievements.

The students will collate and present evidence of possessing these 18 Graduate Qualities. Students have received their Term One booklet along with their folder or for those who have chosen to set up a website in which to store their evidence. During the coming weeks, students will be supported as they learn how to document their achievements which may be presented on paper or website format.

Seniors Jumper

A tradition at Lockleys North is for our senior students to help design the Seniors Jumper. Students will be finalising the design of the 2021 Seniors Jumper over the next couple of weeks.  They have been roughly sized up in our sizing kit jumpers, we ask that families double check the size that their child has picked by either seeing us in the morning or after school. A note will be sent home shortly with the details regarding payment and the process for ordering. Not only is the Seniors Jumper a warm item that can be worn on cold days, but also a souvenir of the students' final year of primary school.

Aquatics - At Camp for 2021

This year the senior students will NOT be taking part in the DfE Aquatics Programme at West Lakes. The aquatic component will now be linked in with the Seniors Camp. This is a saving on costs for all families. 

Graduate Speeches

Senior students are provided with the opportunity to share their primary school experiences, contributions, favourite memories and advice to the school community through their Graduate Speech. Students will be given advance notice of the assembly they will be presenting at to provide any family members, who may wish to attend, some prior warning. With adequate notice, we are able to change dates to suit family preferences.

High School Transition

Families have an important decision to make regarding which secondary school they would like their children to attend in 2021. Many local high schools will hold Open Days this term and for those of you yet to make a decision about secondary schooling, we highly recommend you attend some of these. It is important that you inform yourselves of what schools have to offer rather than base decisions on hearsay or reputation.

If your child is applying for a specialist programme, please give staff ADVANCED NOTICE of any references or documentation required to support the application.

At a later stage, you will receive a package with information regarding the Transition process and steps you will need to take to enrol your child in High School. In the meantime, keep an eye out for Open Day advertisements in the newsletter and on individual school websites.
