Change to behaviour procedure

We are making a slight change to one of our behaviour procedures.

From Monday 22nd June, any students removed from their period 5 lesson (the last lesson of the day) will spend the remainder of that lesson and the whole of the following day in the Reflection Room. 

Applying for Free School Meals (FSM)

From 1st September 2026, all children attending school from households in receipt of Universal Credit will be entitled to receive a free school meal.

Further information

 

All parents who have an existing FSM account will have to re-apply before 31st July 2026.  It is important to re-apply to avoid any disruption to receiving Free School Meals from September. 

You must apply on this site only: https://pps.lgfl.org.uk/   Please do not apply to any other site as proof will not be accepted. PLEASE NOTE: You will be asked to re-apply yearly to keep your child on FSM.

Alternatively, if you would like us to apply annually on your behalf, please complete this form. Please ensure that you enter the details of the same person who has claimed Universal Credit.

Year 10 mock exams

The first round of Year 10 mock exams has begun this week.

The exam and booster timetables can be found here.
