“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.

In addition to pupils gaining Achiever awards for their work engagement, a handful of pupils have received them for different reasons. They have so far been awarded for having a high number of Facebook entries; for winning Facebook challenges; and producing work that far exceeds expectation. Well done everyone. We will be looking at more ways for pupils to gain this award after the half term break.

We have loved seeing the entries to this challenge! The worst part of the week is having to select a winner from all of the wonderful, thoughtful recreations sent in. We appreciate you all having a go and hope you enjoyed it!
This week's winner is Francesca Wallis (Y8). Francesca's entry involved going out and photographing a field and buildings, considering the correct angle using the original painting. Francesca even got her mum involved! After taking her photos Francesca assembled them all on a Procreate programme. Well done, Francesca! You will receive a £10 when we return.
Thank you to all students who have taken part in one or more of our challenges.
