About Litcham School

‘We aim to achieve our potential and to secure a better future through equality of opportunity, pride in our community and our commitment to excellence’

Litcham School Council

We are a well-respected all-through school for children aged 4 to 16, serving a large rural community.

We are committed to providing education of the highest quality, so that every pupil can achieve their potential. This is our number one priority, and we know this will only happen by providing the best curriculum and the highest standards of teaching every day.

We are a relatively small school that is consistently oversubscribed. Our size enables us to get to know our pupils exceptionally well and to focus on their individual needs. The phrase ‘every child known’ is often used by schools to highlight their commitment to pastoral care. At Litcham this is genuinely the case. Some pupils join us directly in the Reception class, whilst others join us in Year 7 from within the catchment area. Every year we also welcome a significant number of new pupils from further afield.

The school’s curriculum is ambitious, broad and balanced. It is implemented well to ensure that pupils gain the knowledge and cultural capital they need to succeed in life. As an all-through school, the curriculum has been coherently planned and sequenced from Reception to Year 11 to develop sufficient knowledge for future learning and employment. Opportunities to engage in sport, music, drama and many other extra-curricular activities help our pupils develop the breadth of experience they need to make the transition into adult life.

Our pupils are rightly proud of their school and very loyal. Visitors frequently comment on the calm and purposeful atmosphere around the school. The teachers and support staff are extraordinarily hard-working and committed to bringing out the best in our young people. Together, they are the vital ingredients of what makes this such a happy and successful school.
