Christmas Jumper Day on Friday 11th December ... join in the fun and support good causes

Just a quick reminder about our Christmas jumper, non-uniform fundraiser this Friday, 11th December. Donations should be made through ParentPay and the money raised will go to 'Save the Children' and 'EducAid', a Sierra Leone charity LGGS works with. The following link will take you to Parentpay: ParentPay On the day students do not have to wear a Christmas jumper if they don’t have one, instead they can wear Christmas colours so green, red etc or something with a sparkle! The usual non-uniform guidelines apply but students will need to keep warm in school. I am sure we will have a really good day. Thank you for your support.

'Reindeer Rush' Seasonal Sponsored Run. Supporting St John's Hospice

3rd Dec 2020

'Reindeer Rush' Seasonal Sponsored Run. Supporting St John's Hospice

Last year, local schools helped raised an amazing £15000 for St John’s Hospice by taking part in the 2019 Elf Run. LGGS proudly raising nearly £400 of this total and over ten teachers taking part from all departments. This year, we are proud to be supporting their 2020 seasonal sponsored run - Reindeer Rush, in a bid to top this mammoth total! This is a sponsored run or walk of a distance of your choice and location, taking part on Saturday 19th December 2020. To take part all you need to do is complete the following form to opt that you want to take part and how many people in your family want to take part so we can order your free reindeer antlers (school will be charged so please only apply for these if you are raising money through sponsorship). The deadline date for entries is Friday 4th December.  Register here for Reindeer Rush Staff and pupils will receive their antler delivery week beginning the 14th December ready to take part in the sponsored event on Saturday. Pupils that take part in the event will also be able to achieve a house point for their participation by uploading a photo whilst on their run or after (in full festive outfit). This will be uploaded on to TEAMS via an assignment which will be explained to pupils prior to the event. There will be also an opportunity to add how much your have raised online and this total too will be added to charity house points.   If Staff are happy to share their photos it would be incredible, it would make our Christmas! All donations should be made online via our own LGGS JustGiving page by clicking on the link below:  Just Give - St John's Hospice Any further information or details you require, please don’t hesitate to contact: l.sharples@lggs.lancs.sch.uk

Black History Month

22nd Oct 2020

Black History Month

Despite not being able to gather for our usual year group assemblies celebrating Black History Month (BHM), every history pupil in the school has had a presentation in a lesson this month entitled ‘Black History is British History, British History is Black History’. This presentation examines the central importance of black people and black experiences to British History, stretching back well over 2000 years. It hopefully reflects the approach we take within the LGGS History department, and the efforts we continue to make to improve, and incorporate as reflective and diverse a History curriculum as possible. A BHM competition open to all pupils, in all year groups has also be launched and the deadline for entries for this is the end of October. Full details of this competition can be found on the final slide of the BHM presentation. We do hope that lots of pupils will be inspired to take part in this competition.

UK to Yemen 3,873 Mile Fundraiser

22nd Oct 2020

UK to Yemen 3,873 Mile Fundraiser

Over the summer Year 12 student Josna George took part in an impressive fundraiser for Yemen. At the moment, Yemen is going through extremely difficult times. Yemen has been in conflict for four years, leading to one of the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. It has been stated that nearly 2 in 3 people are in need of urgent help. I wondered for so long, how could I help? With the help of everyone we have raised money together to help Yemen. There are 3,873 miles from UK to Yemen. The aim of the fundraiser was to collectively cycle these miles with the help of anyone else interested and for it to take place within one month. I set up a Strava club where people could record and run, cycle or walk any distance, so we could reach the 3873 mile target. The challenge started on Monday 29th June and ended on Wednesday 29th July. By the end of the month we had successfully completed and exceeded our target with a total of 4464.2 miles, in which my brother and I cycled 400 miles each. So far we have raised £2,494.41 (including gift aid) but the fundraising page is still open, should you wish to donate. Thank you so much everyone for the overwhelming support and help! Just Giving

GCSE Results 2020 - Congratulations to our Year 11 students

GCSE Results 2020 - Congratulations to our Year 11 students

Congratulations to our Year 11 students who received their GCSE results today, many of them coming into school to collect them. It was lovely to see them in person after what seems like a very long time and to celebrate their success. We have missed their sense of fun, energy and enthusiasm; they have always been a positive year group. Overall the year group have achieved at a very high level, with their grades showing their efforts and commitment over the two year courses. Although their GCSE studies ended prematurely, many of them have continued with their education through pre A-level work and online learning. Two students also produced a weekly lockdown magazine for our younger students every week, which was much appreciated. We look forward to welcoming them back to the LGGS Sixth Form when school resumes in September I would like to thank all the LGGS staff who have worked so hard with the students to support and encourage them in their GCSEs and of course parents for the support that they have given to the students and the school.
