WHAT MAKES A GOOD SCHOOL?

Is it the teachers? The number of books and the amount of specialist equipment?

I believe it is the PEOPLE. Those who care about the students; those who always want to get the best from themselves and the young people in their care.

Our caretaker cares about the people in the school, and you can see that in the way he and his cleaning staff keep the property well presented, attractive and safe.

Our new young teachers have come to Lytton Street School because they know we take our job seriously, we will help them become the best teachers they can possibly be, and that they want to make a difference for our children.

Our team of teachers and teacher aides are there for the children. They want them to become good citizens, making a useful contribution to their own families, their communities and their planet. They care deeply about this - it is their reason for being here each day.

The school has a long tradition of treating every child as special. All students have needs and talents, and we want to tap into their talents, identify their needs, and do the best we can to help them achieve their goals.

At Lytton Street School, you can expect:
- to be told how your child is progressing
- to be involved in their learning
- to be heard when you have a question or a concern

We also believe the school can expect:
- that you will work with us in a spirit of partnership
- that you will support us in our work
- that the learning needs, well-being and safety of every child is the focus of our work together.
