Lancaster Academy is looking for ambitious, committed, and motivated volunteers, who share our values and passion for inspiring education, to join its Local Governing Body.

The Role

The LGB and Board of Trustees as a whole are collectively responsible for the success of the academy. The LGB’s:

• provide support and challenge with regard to the strategic approach which drives the operation of the academy in terms of learning, standards, safety and wellbeing.

• act as a critical friend to the Principal and to advise the Trust Board about local issues they need to consider that affect the academy

• represent the interests of the academy community in the running of the academy and to represent the academy in its community.

• engage with pupils, staff, parents and the wider academy community to understand their views

in their role, Governors:

• attend four LGB meetings each year.

• get to know the school, including visiting the school occasionally during school hours.

• attend regular relevant training and development events.

The school holidays have arrived, but Lancaster Academy is anything but quiet. While the learners enjoy a well earned break, the builders have moved in.

Over the summer the site will see a full refurbishment programme alongside work on brand new rooms. Expect scaffolding, skips, and the occasional cement mixer where the lunch queue used to be.

The aim is simple. When everyone returns in August, the school will feel fresher, brighter, and better equipped, with paint that is hopefully dry by then!

We'll share progress photos along the way. Hard hats are optional, but currently more common on site than school ties!

Join us for Lancaster Academy’s Open Evening 2026!

Come and explore our school, meet our friendly staff and new Principal, and discover what Lancaster Academy can offer your child.

📅 Wednesday 16 September
⏰ 4.30pm to 6.30pm

We look forward to welcoming you!

Thank You, Mrs Fisher

Yesterday marked the end of an incredible chapter at Lancaster Academy as we said a fond farewell to our Principal, Anna Fisher, who retired from headship after years of dedicated service to our school community.

The celebrations began with a guard of honour, as learners and staff lined the route to thank Anna for her years of leadership and dedication.

There was then a special celebration where learners presented Anna with plants and thoughtful gifts before heartfelt speeches reflected on her time at Lancaster and the difference she has made to the lives of so many young people. The event ended with a wonderful musical performance from one of our Year 9 learners, providing a memorable finale to the occasion.

On behalf of everyone at Lancaster Academy and Learning without Limits Academy Trust, we would like to thank Mrs Fisher for her dedication, kindness and unwavering belief in our learners. We wish her every happiness for the future, Thank you, for everything you have done for Lancaster Academy.

From everyone at Learning without Limits Academy Trust
we hope you have a happy and safe summer holiday.
We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday 25th August 2026.

🎶 What an incredible two days! 🎻

We were delighted to welcome the London Philharmonia Orchestra to our school, where they delivered a series of inspiring and engaging workshops for our Year 7 and Year 8 students.

Across the two days, our students had the opportunity to explore the world of orchestral music, develop their musical skills through a series of workshops in string instruments/wind instruments/ percussion instruments, students have composed their own music and been a pilot for the London Philharmonia VR experience. It has been incredible to experience the creativity, teamwork, and passion that professional musicians bring to every performance.

A huge thank you to the London Philharmonia Orchestra for sharing their expertise and inspiring the next generation of musicians. It has been a truly memorable experience for everyone involved!
