Our Lightcliffe Christmas tree is a celebration of our academy's love for reading- which book will you be adding to your Christmas list?

Year 9 students are enjoying reading Holes by Louis Sachar as part of our Reading Circles. #LightcliffeReading #FasterReadFriday

We look forward to seeing you at the Remembrance service at Baliff Bridge community centre Sunday 11th 10.30am. Some of our students will be singing at the event if you would like to come and show your support.

Thank you to all our young people and families who attended last night’s Year 11 evening. It was great to see you asking questions and leaving with helpful information about mock exams. A great turnout from all! Mrs Hackett Head of School

We have had the privilege to visit KPMG today with over 50 Y10 students where they have had the opportunity to experience life in the workplace. We are excited to welcome many more work experience opportunities throughout the year!

Lightcliffe Academy students and staff had an amazing experience at the Apollo Victoria Theatre in London yesterday, where they were lucky to watch a performance of Wicked and have a personal Q&A session with the cast.

We have had a fantastic first week at Lightcliffe Academy, including welcoming our enthusiastic Year 7 cohort on Wednesday. This week has also seen the launch of our 'Faster Read Friday' initiative, where students in all years are enjoying The Sniper by Liam O'Flaherty.
