About Lantern Community Primary School
Headteacher at Lantern: Mr Anthony Aguda
Head of School at Downham Feoffees: Mrs Benita Sherrington
Lantern and Downham Feoffees are a close-working pair of schools
that enjoy all of the benefits that collaboration brings. Each school maintains
their own individuality and identity but share many common traits.
Our curriculum across all of our 15 Meridian primary schools
enables the children to develop their own learning and shape their own
understanding as they use prior learning to embed and secure new skills and
knowledge. We are fortunate at both Downham Feoffees and Lantern to have
excellent facilities and spaces, both inside and out, which facilitate and
enhance the children’s learning opportunities.
Our school is situated on the heart of Ely and caters for
children aged 3 – 11 (Pre-school, Reception, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2).
We have approximately 400 pupils, organised into two classes per
year group. There are currently 14 classes plus our Goslings Pre-school. Our children come from all over Ely and the
surrounding area, with the majority living close by.
We are proud of both of our schools and of the parts they play
within each local community. Our success works in unison with the partnerships
fostered between the home and school. We value the hard work and support
provided by parents/carers and their families, plus the Friends of the Lantern School
(FOTLS) and our Academy Council. We have fostered links with businesses and
charities both within the locality and further afield; we look forward to
further developing such opportunities.
We have forged robust links with Ely College, also part of the
Meridian family. Lantern and Ely College share a fence border and so children
have the opportunity to access learning from pre-school to 6th Form
all in a very close area.
Our schools are great places to teach and learn in and we are all very proud of what we achieve.
