YEAR SIX - VI

 

Thank you for considering The Lakes School as your choice of secondary school. Making the step from Year 6 in to Year 7 can be quite daunting but we will work hard to ensure that you feel comfortable and settle in well.

Staff from our Student Development Team work closely with your primary school so that we can learn as much about you as possible before you arrive. We will help you settle in quickly with people you know and we are sure that you are also looking forward to making some new friends that will become friends for life.

We would love to get to know you better so take a look at the ideas below and write a letter to Ms Rainey, complete our survey, send us a collage about yourself and apply for your Lakes School Badges!

Information for Parents

Welcome to the section of our website which has been specifically designed for prospective parents to help you access the information you need so that you can make an informed decision about The Lakes School being the right school for your child. Whether your child is still in Primary School or you are relocating to the area, the information and links below should provide you with everything you are looking for but we would love to hear from you if there is something you can’t find and we will be only too pleased to help. We have set up this handy dashboard below; simply click on the buttons and enjoy finding out about our school.

Due to the impact of Covid-19, local secondary schools are unable to organise the traditional September open evening or offer tours of the school. However, we will be working closely with local Primary Schools to ensure that all parents receive the information you need and all children receive the support they require regarding transition to The Lakes School. If you and your child would like to arrange a phone call or a video call with a member of staff then do get in touch. 

Should you have any questions about The Lakes School, do please email us at admin@lakes.cumbria.sch.uk or call us on 015394 40810. We look forward to hearing from you.
