Since the very beginning, LECA has been built on partnerships. Sharing the campus with Highfield Littleport, Littleport Leisure and Stepping Stoners means that we naturally share our resources and facilities and over the years to come this will become more and more integrated. We host the weekly…

This week, with the draft of the new Ofsted Inspection Framework being published and our first ever Ofsted inspection due this calendar year, it was time for LECA to evaluate its position against the proposed new judgements. The new areas are:

First of all - Happy New Year. 2018 was a great year at LECA and we're confident 2019 will be even better.

That was a busy week! Year 8 showed Year 7 how we do exams in their first ever full week of assessments in the Main Hall. Exam desks were out and full exam conditions were in play and the Year 8s showed us what a determined and resilient group they are sitting between 3 and 4 exams a day and…

With the half term break behind us we begin our preparations for the first assessments of the year. The November assessment series gives us our first look at the progress our students have made since the beginning of the year. For Year 7, it's also a taste of what assessments 'look like' at LECA.…

At LECA we have always been completely transparent about our ambition to be Outstanding. We said it from the first blog - one that was picked up and published by the Ely Standard  - and we have set about putting the foundation work in over the last twelve months. This year we aim to do even more…
