Pastoral Care

Lakelands Academy aims to provide an outstanding educational experience that is fully inclusive of all students, independent of their background, so that we add value to their lives both in terms of their academic performance and their social wellbeing, through a personalised approach that develops citizens who are able to make a valuable contribution to society and the community in which they live.

Lakelands Academy seeks to foster a caring community atmosphere, where all students are encouraged to develop their self-confidence and to show consideration for others. On admission to Lakelands Academy, each student is placed in a Tutor Group. The composition of each Tutor Group is balanced in terms of gender and ability levels. Additionally, where requested and possible, we keep together groups of students from our smaller contributory primary schools.

Form Tutors play an active role in matters such as student attendance, punctuality, conduct and dress, and are vital links in the lines of communication between school and home. They are prepared to offer students advice and support and monitor very closely their general progress. Thus, Form Tutors play a key role in the personal and social development of students in Lakelands Academy.

Any queries which parents have regarding their child/children should be addressed to the Form Tutors in the first instance, and then through the appropriate Year Leader if necessary.

Student Leadership Team

Each year Lakelands Academy invites applications to the student leadership team from Year 10 students who wish to serve our school as Prefects, Wellbeing Ambassadors and the prestigious role of Head Students, during Year 11. 

Our student leadership team plays a vital role in fostering a supportive and inclusive school environment. Wellbeing Ambassadors provide guidance and resources to help students maintain positive mental health, while Pastoral Prefects assist younger students with a smooth and confident transition into secondary school. In addition, all Prefects contribute to the efficient running of the school by supporting daily operations and promoting a sense of responsibility and community amongst peers. All prefects and Wellbeing Ambassadors represent our school at various functions both internally and externally, and most importantly provide positive role models. 

Our pastoral team are supported in and around school by Lakelands Prefects and Wellbeing Ambassadors.
