Student leadership at LHS

We have four school houses named after Northumberland castles: Alnwick, Bamburgh, Dunstanburgh and Warkworth. Every student becomes a member of one of these houses when they join us in Year 7 and they stay in this house until Year 13. We have house captains split across Y7-8, 9-10 and 11-13 who represent each house; they keep this role as they move through the school.

Our school council works alongside the house captains and is another way for students to demonstrate leadership in our school. Each year group has 2 representatives who attend year group meetings and full school council meetings with senior staff each half term.

KIDMAP

Our school values are based on the KIDMAP acronym which stands for Kindness, Integrity, Determination, Manners, Ambition and Positivity. Achievement points are awarded to students when they demonstrate these qualities around school and in lessons; parents and students can keep track of these via My Child At School (MCAS) and Bromcom, which is our school MIS system.
