“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
(Matthew 5:14-16 NIV)
The Governors and staff of Lowton Church of England High School are committed to the provision of a high quality education in a Christian context. We aim to provide a school where we can live out our ethos of Caring, Learning and Succeeding on a daily basis and let our light shine. At the heart of the commitment is the notion of the uniqueness and infinite worth of the individual, that every person is valuable in the eyes of God and that they are, indeed, the light of the world.

Form Tutors choose a 'Star of the Half Term' for a variety of different reasons, far too many to list on here. Each 'Star' will receive one of our 'Achievement' badges and a certificate after the half term break. Well done to everyone.
Each week form tutors choose one pupil that has been the 'Star of the Week' in form for that week. They gain achievement points in recognition of this and many of you will have also received postcards too. Here are the pupils selected for the last 7 weeks. Well done to all.
As Head of Year 11, I have been impressed with the wonderful start, through challenging times, that I have seen from the pupils. The sheer drive and determination to do well, shines through with so many. I choose to recognise the efforts of the pupils listed, knowing that there are many more I could have chosen for many different reasons. Well done Year 11.
We have been thrilled with all the hard work that we have seen from our new Year 7. We hope that they have all enjoyed their first half term with us and that they will continue to thrive when we return after the holiday. Enjoy your week off and we will see you all back in school on Wednesday 4th November.
Congratulation to Mrs Thorpe's 10w2 who have the highest average number of achievement points out of the Year 10 forms this half term. Between them, they have amassed an amazing 3,870 achievement points, working out at an average of 175 per person. Pretty impressive for just 7 weeks back in school!

I would like to take this opportunity to celebrate the commitments of the students who have been completing their work with special mentions going to Jack Follows, Cheryl McHugh, Shannon Knowles, Chloe Earnshaw, Jack Corbett and Nikolay Karacholev. I am very pleased that we are all back in school safe and well and hope this can remain for the foreseeable future.
Lessons in the Limelight - Religious Studies with Mrs Barker
Pupils in Year 10 GCSE RS lessons have been learning about worship this week in Judaism. They started with their artistic talents drawing the key features of the synagogue and annotating them on whiteboards. They then spent time responding to some GCSE style questions writing up the responses in their books and self-assessing their work.
Lessons in the Limelight - PSHE with Mrs Barker
Pupils in Year 9 PSHE lessons have been completing a unit of work on Health and Wellbeing. This week they have been looking at the reasons why people drink alcohol and the effects that alcohol can have on individuals and society. Lessons started with discussions and whiteboard activities on any plus, negative and interesting points about alcohol. Pupils then spent some of the lesson identifying why young people may drink focusing on the reason, feelings and risks. Some of the work produced in the 10 minute activity in books impressed Mrs Barker. Here we have some examples from Eva Marsden-Barnes (Photo 1), Prindi Bayona (Photo 2), Chloe Weaver (Photo 3), Zac Ryan (Photo 4) and Leighton Gibbons (Photo 5). In photo 6 from left to right starting at the top we have work from Freya Evans, Aaron Lord, Lexi Hill, Olivia Avery, Fletcher Pendlebury and Olivia Russell.
Lessons in the Limelight - History with Mrs Barker
Year 7 have spent their first week in their new teaching groups. Mrs Barker was really impressed with how well 7b2 worked in History. They spent the lesson examining the question ‘Who should be King in 1066?’ Here they are finding facts about the three claimants to the throne.
Harold Godwinson was the overall winner in the class vote. Next lesson they are going to find out who became King of England and what happened.
