Lammas will raise aspirations, expectations, and achievement for all students. We will ensure students acquire the knowledge, skills, and qualifications relevant to adult life and employment. We will encourage students to think for themselves, develop enquiring minds, and become disciplined learners. We will help students to understand the world in which they live and their responsibilities as members of our community and society.
We will broaden our students’ horizons through a range of academic, creative, sporting, and musical activities within and beyond the classroom. We believe kindness, care, respect, and support for others are important and we create an environment with students in which we are all safe, happy, and enjoy working together.
Our School has a creative curriculum that uses a variety of teaching tools, linking education to the outside world to bring learning to life and ensure provision for all abilities. We will deliver the national curriculum at Key Stages 3 and 4. But in addition to this, we want a curriculum that responds to the needs of our students and is seen as relevant to their needs post-16. We offer a range of Sixth Form courses that includes AS Levels, A-Level, vocational qualifications, and enrichment that will enable students to progress to Higher Education or employment.

- Teaching children of all abilities to learn.
- Tailoring the curriculum to the individual, wherever possible.

- Opportunities for learning with students of different ages in a variety of ways, eg Super Learning Days and Vertical tutoring.
