LEWESTON LIFE REFLECTS THE MANY ACHIEVEMENTS OF LEWESTON PUPILS OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS
WELCOME FROM THE HEAD
As we come to the close of a vibrant and fulfilling Spring Term, I am delighted to reflect on the many achievements and moments of pride we’ve shared as a school community. This term has been bursting with energy and excellence across all areas of school life. On the sports field, our pupils have shown remarkable skill, teamwork, and determination, representing the school with pride and achieving some truly outstanding results. From thrilling matches to personal bests, our athletes have continually raised the bar
The performing arts have equally shone this term, with captivating performances that showcased not only talent but also creativity, confidence, and the joy of collaboration.
Whether on stage, behind the scenes, or in the rehearsal room, our pupils’ commitment to their craft has been truly inspiring
We also celebrated notable success in the Sixth Form, with our students receiving impressive university offers, raising incredible sums for charity, and taking on the challenge of Ten Tors. Their achievements are a testament to their hard work and passion, and we are incredibly proud of their continued success.
Beyond the accolades, what stands out most is the spirit of our students their enthusiasm, resilience, and support for one another. This has made the Spring Term a rich and rewarding chapter in our year

Students in Years 10 to 13 performed in an unforgettable school production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, showcasing exceptional performances and innovative staging that brought Christopher Boone's world to life.
Staged in the round, with an ambitious combination of lighting, sound, and projection effects, the school's Performing Arts department succeeded in immersing the audience into Christopher Boone’s world, giving them a chance to see things from his unique perspective.

Celebrating International Student Achievements!
