School Performance Update: 2019/20

The pace of change has been maintained at LSA this year. With many new staff, the challenge of tightening finances and the tradition of being one of the best schools in Lancashire, the results at GCSE continue to be a wonderful testament to the hard working staff and fantastic students that we have at school. Even with new qualifications, our results over the last three years have continued to improve, establishing LSA firmly as a brilliant option for families on the Fylde. More importantly, the information in this annual report highlights what a happy and safe school we are as well.

With a focus on our key values and a commitment to pursuing excellence as a learning community, the next few years are exciting for everyone. If you would like to know anything more about how we are doing then please get in touch.

David Swaffield Chair of Governors

Ray Baker Headteacher

As governors ,we are proud of the progress of students at our school. We are determined that we create a genuine learning community that pursues excellence and this is clearly something we are moving towards. With a commitment to ensure that each and every child in the area succeeds, we are continuing to ensure that we have excellent teachers with fantastic knowledge and skills. We have seen improvements in attendance and behaviour and these create an academic culture. The next few years will see a real emphasis on developing experiences outside of the classroom, which is something the governors are really excited about.

We are proud of our results but never complacent. Being the best we can be will never allow us to stop improving!
