LITCHAM
HIGH SCHOOL
Report for Litcham Parish Annual Meeting held on 16 April 2007
1. Site
The new block, incorporating a low-energy heating and air-conditioning
system, is now fully in use and is a vast improvement on the mobile
classrooms it replaced. External lighting has been rationalised to
reduce the total number of lights and consumption of energy, whilst
maintaining security and health and safety requirements. External
decorating continues. Building work during the summer break will
include a new floor to the gym, a new layout at the front of the
school, to improve the bus picking up arrangements and parking and a
toilet replacement project. Air-conditioning is needed in School House
(computer block), but its listed status precludes the use of
conventional, externally-mounted equipment.
2. School Roll
The current roll stands at 575. The standard admission number is 112
per annum, and as such the school remains over-subscribed. Fortunately,
all children in the catchment area still get a place.
3. Specialist Status Phase
1 (2002 – 2006) of the science specialism finishes in August. We
are looking forward to redesignation for a further 4 years. An
invitation event will be held on 7 July to mark the first phase. As a
high-performing secondary school, we have been invited to bid for a
second specialism. Details to follow.
4. Exam Results GCSE and key stage 3 SAT results continue to place the school in the highest category of secondary performance.
