Your involvement in your child's education makes all the difference. Find everything you need to stay connected, informed, and engaged with school life at Lanercost.
At Lanercost, we recognize that parents and carers are children's first and most important educators. We value strong home-school partnerships and believe that when families and school work together, children thrive. This section provides all the practical information you need to support your child's learning journey and stay connected with school life.
Stay Connected
Our weekly newsletter keeps you informed about what's happening in school, upcoming events, and celebrates children's achievements. We also use social media to share daily snapshots of learning.
Open Door Policy
We pride ourselves on being approachable and accessible. Whether you have a question, concern, or just want to share good news, our staff are here to listen and work with you.
From practical information about term dates and clubs to guidance on supporting learning at home, we aim to make it easy for you to engage with your child's education. We also welcome parent volunteers and encourage you to join FOLS (Friends of Lanercost School) to help organize events and fundraising activities that benefit all our children.
