💜 Today, we say a heartfelt farewell to our Headteacher, Mrs Brindley, as she begins a well-earned retirement after more than 40 years in education. 💜

Since joining Lostock High School in 2020, Mrs Brindley has led our school with dedication, compassion and an unwavering belief in every young person. As our students' biggest advocate, she has always put them at the heart of every decision, leaving behind a school and community she can be incredibly proud of.

As one chapter closes, another begins. Mrs Brindley leaves Lostock knowing the school is in the capable hands of our Interim Headteacher, Miss Reynolds, who, alongside the Senior Leadership Team, is looking forward to welcoming all families back in September for another exciting academic year.

Mrs Brindley, thank you for everything you have done for Lostock High School. We wish you every happiness in your retirement and hope you enjoy spending more time with your family, your new puppy and, of course, your beloved horse.

Enjoy those holidays in term time, you've certainly earned them! ☀️

And don't worry... we'll see you next year for our annual trip to Chester Zoo! 🦁🐘

Happy Retirement! 💜💚

🎉 School's out for summer! ☀️

As another school year comes to an end, we'd like to thank our amazing students, staff, parents and carers for all of your hard work and support.

We hope everyone has a safe, relaxing and well-deserved summer break. Whether you're travelling, spending time with family and friends or simply enjoying a well-earned rest, we hope you make lots of wonderful memories.

To our Year 11 students, we wish you every success as you begin your next chapter - you'll always be part of the Lostock community.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back in September, refreshed and ready for another fantastic year.

Have a wonderful summer! 💜💚

Good luck to our Year 10 students who have headed off to the exciting three-day, two-night Scientific You residential summer school at Manchester Metropolitan University this morning.



The girls successfully secured places on this highly competitive programme, with only 40 places available across Greater Manchester. As part of the application process, students were required to submit a personal statement, making their achievement even more impressive

Staff Spotlight | Miss Shaw

We're proud to shine a spotlight on our History Teacher, Miss Shaw, who is currently taking part in the UCL Centre for Holocaust Education's Beacon Schools Programme.

As part of the programme, Miss Shaw recently attended the Berlin Residential, where teachers from across England explored significant historical sites and memorials, deepening their understanding of Holocaust history through research-informed professional development. The programme supports teachers in delivering thoughtful, evidence-informed Holocaust education that encourages students to think critically about history, responsibility and the consequences of prejudice.

We look forward to seeing the impact of Miss Shaw's experiences in the classroom.

Year 8 London residential 🇬🇧

What an incredible few days our year 8 students had on their first residential trip to London.

From visiting Parliament and meeting .western.mp to watching the spectacular The Lion King in the West End travelling on the London underground, seeing iconic landmarks like Big Ben and so much more, it was a trip packed with unforgettable experiences and memories to last a lifetime.

A huge thank you to Mr Pearson, Mr Johnson and Miss Barlow for giving up their time to make this trip possible. Although we're pretty sure they needed a very long lie down when they got home.
