Code of Practice

Assemblies

Assemblies provide the platform to celebrate students’ successes and achievements. A time of reflection is built into the assembly which challenges pupils to reflect upon the values they hold relating to a variety of themes. Regular visits from Pastor Tony help us to explore a variety of issues

Special Educational Needs

Lathom High School is concerned to ensure that all students achieve whether they are gifted or have specific learning difficulties. To this end a number of intervention strategies are used to support the learning of all to ensure that individual needs are met. School policy incorporates all the requirements of the SEND Code of Practice.

Sex Education

This subject area is part SMSC   where it is taught within a moral framework that seeks to promote and support the best standards of family life as required by educational law. Parents reserve the right to withdraw their child from these lessons by arrangement with the school.

Equal Opportunities and Racism

Whatever the nature of the local community, children are growing up in a wider multicultural and multiracial society where they are subject to various attitudes towards minority groups. Lathom High School stands against racism and all forms of discrimination on the grounds of ethnic origin, religion, gender or disability.

Student Conduct

Our vision at Lathom High School is to provide an outstanding education for our students so that they fulfill their potential and make a valued contribution to society.

We expect high standards of behaviour at all times.
