We are going to launch “Read For Good” on the 25^th February among KS3 students. Read For Good is the UK’s national sponsored reading event for schools. Read For Good encourages children to read for pleasure - an activity proven to increase children’s chances of success and personal happiness for the rest of their lives – while raising money to help seriously ill and disabled children.

Read For Good will take place at LCHS during Term 4 and the Easter Holidays and, of course, is open not only to KS3 students but to all the students and members of staff who want to take part in it!

Participants will be asked to set their own reading target (it doesn’t have to be a whole book, it could be a newspaper’s article, a magazine, a website, anything they are interested in reading), ask family and friends to sponsor them, fill in their sponsorship cards and bring their sponsorship money to Mrs Parker in the Students’ reception or to me. Sponsorship cards and bookmarks are available in the library for everybody. Sponsors can pay online too at https://readathon.secure.force.com/sponsor/

Further information can be found at:  http://readforgood.org/

Read For Good is also a house competition. Therefore, students not only will be raising money for a brilliant charity but will earn house points for taking part and there will be all sorts of prizes on offer!

Thank you very much for your support!

Happy reading!

The next uniform pop - up shop here at LCHS will be on Thursday 20th June from 4pm to 6pm.

LCHS is hosting a conference in March called ROTA.  This will be the 28th Annual Conference, which is for Year 12 students from our partner schools in Belgium, Germany, Holland and Spain, together with some of our own students.

Part of the experience for the visitors is to stay with a family and learn about life in the UK and perhaps brush up their English - though they can usually speak it pretty well!

We have 60 students (plus teachers) to find beds for, so we are looking for people to volunteer to host one or two students from these countries for 24 - 30th March 2019.  They do not necessarily need their own bedroom or facilities and will be happy to "muck in" with your family life.  During the day they will be in school or on trips and on several evenings they will also be occupied.  Many meals are also provided for them, but we are offering £50 per student to help defray your costs.

If your son or daughter would like to take part when they are in Year 12 (next year in Spain, the following year in Belgium and so on) they will be given preference when it comes to selecting the participants if you have been able to offer accommodation this year.  If they are currently in Year 12 and wish to take part this year (including trips to the Houses of Parliament - in Brexit week - in London and the Galleries of Justice and the Caves in Nottingham all at no cost!) please send them to see me, as we still have some places.

If you think you might be able to offer accommodation, please contact me for more details.
