“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.

Thank you to everyone that has watched, commented and praised the performances over the four presentations.
We have received some wonderful transition work from our new year 7 this year and the quality has been outstanding so far.
Please can any students that have not returned their booklets and postcards do so ASAP so we can get them to your form tutors to mark. Which form will achieve the highest number of points?
Can we also remind parents to return consent forms as soon as possible. You can bring them into reception, post them, or follow the link below and email them back into school. It is really important that we receive them back as soon as possible.

Dear God,
We pray to you that the ongoing wars wil stop, and that racism won't be a thing anymore. Please God also help those other 13 millon people in Yemen get through these tough times since they don't have any housing, food or water. Dear God I also ask that those people manage to get help from people all around the world so then they can survive and live a happier life.
Amen
For the second evening of our Lowton Virtual Arts Festival, our Art department will be showcasing the fantastic work produced by our students. We hope you enjoy the show!
The PE department were incredibly proud to receive these Your School Games awards last week in recognition of our commitment to school sport and our online work in keeping students active during recent months.
A huge well done and thank you to all of the students who have engaged with our extra curricular programme throughout the school year, and even during lockdown! Thanks must also go to parents for supporting our students along the way.
As we approach the break, we think about the family holiday time that has been shifted. Here is a prayer for families from the Church of England.
God of compassion,
whose Son Jesus Christ, the child of Mary,
shared the life of a home in Nazareth,
and on the cross drew the whole human family to himself:
strengthen us in our daily living
that in joy and in sorrow
we may know the power of your presence
to bind together and to heal;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

A message for the Year 6 students joining us in September:

There are lots of certificates being written to acknowledge the wonderful work of so many of our pupils.

This week's Big Question: Should we be wearing face masks? Watch the video and share your thoughts with your friends, family or even in the comments. Thanks to Mr McGuiness and Maddie Burgess for joining this week.
In early March Year 8 student Eva Marsden-Barnes took part in a 'Drama Cups' competition at her acting school 'A Will and a Way'.
Eva had to perform two monologues in front of an audience and some famous judges. Eva chose pieces from 'Alice in Wonderland' and 'Whistle Down the Wind' and seriously impressed the judges, going on to win the competition!
Eva can't wait to get back to her classes again soon. Well done, Eva!
We are very proud of one of our students, Jessika Pye (7W2) for the strength and resilience that she has shown over the past few months.
Despite losing her father recently and dealing with her own grief, Jessika has been a huge help and support to her mum at home. Jessika has been incredibly strong and has stepped up to help her mum to care for her siblings. Jessika's sister has cerebral palsy and her brother has also been struggling with the loss of their father.
Jessika has been a superstar in helping her siblings with their school work, as well as assisting her mum in caring for their needs. Jessika has also shown a commendable attitude throughout, believing that no matter what happens in life we can still continue to achieve and do well.
We are all incredibly proud of Jessika, just like her mum.
