From the Lakeview School
I'd like to extend a warm welcome to you on behalf of the students, teachers, and governors to our school website. Lakeview is a joyful school with a warm, welcoming environment. Our children become independent, articulate and confident young people who make a positive contribution to the community, not only during their time with us but also when they move on to their next school. We think that kids should have the best opportunity in life. Our children are encouraged to explore, discover and question through a range of exciting, inclusive learning opportunities both within and outside the classroom. We value our home-school links and work in partnership with parents and carers. The children and adults that I am lucky enough to spend my days with, are a constant inspiration and it is a privilege to learn alongside them. I hope you enjoy exploring our website to learn more about our school. Prospective parents are always invited to contact us and visit our school. If you would like to make an appointment to see our school in action, please do not hesitate to contact us.
