EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES & EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES
Having only been in school for four days this week, the week has passed by at a pace. Nevertheless, progress has continued in true LBS style and many achievements have been made by our students. Importantly, attendance remains high at LBS, and last week the whole school attendance was 96.5%.
I would like to remind parents and carers how important it is that your son is in school, on time, everyday. You will be aware that we follow-up all absences with daily calls home and make no excuse in perusing this rigorously. The illustration below outlines the importance of attendance. Equally, it is proven (as you would expect) that the more days your son is absent from school the lower his achievement is likely to be.
EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Many of you will have already been listening to your son talk about his participation in our extensive extra-curricular programme at LBS. It has been a pleasure to watch and hear the staff discuss the positive engagement at these clubs and we want to encourage more students to participate where possible.
The information in the link below outlines when and where the extra-curricular events take place - most are free to attend and when there is a cost involved we will write to you directly. We will also update you with any new events that are added to the programme as the year progresses.
I would appreciate your support in encouraging your son to 'get involved' with as many extra-curricular activities as possible as these opportunities provide many different social, academic and physical experiences.
