An LP Person
How would you characterise and LP person?
Confident without being arrogant; expects their views to be respected, and respects the view of others; has standards without making a song and dance about them.
Nigel Williams, Director of Studies
Someone who is themselves in most situations and is not afraid to show different styles and opinions.
A pupil (Year 9)
As each pupil is encouraged to be an individual it is difficult to characterise an LP person.
A parent (Year 10)
Someone who is not afraid to be who they are.
A parent (Year 7)
I don't think you can characterise an LP person, which subsequently is the whole point.
A Sixth Form student
They have a craving to learn and taste new experiences. They look to the future and the world around them as a result.
A Sixth Form student
Individual, free-thinking, inspired, respectful, kind and well rounded.
A parent (Years 8, 9 & 11)
Pupils are encouraged to think originally and independently.
A parent (Year 10)
Parents visiting the school often remark on the maturity, intelligence and level of articulation of the pupils.
A parent (Years 9 & Sixth Form)
No stereotype, very open, friendly, unpretentious.
A parent (Year 9)
Happy, secure, increasingly confident, aware of others' needs, motivated.
A parent (Year 11)
Someone who is increasingly learning who they are, how to value who they are, and how to value others in their diversity.
A parent (Year 8)
An LP pupil is encouraged to be an individual, to explore and develop their own thoughts and ideas which they are then able to express with confidence. Once a young person is comfortable about who they are and learns to respect themselves they are able to respect others. Therefore an LP person is a complete person, comfortable with themselves and others.
A parent (Year 7)
Friendly, sociable, up for a challenge and given the potential to be confident in their own abilities.
A pupil (Year 11)
They have a hidden confidence that is only found, in my view, at LP.
A Sixth Form student
It is impossible to characterise an LP person: everyone is different.
A Sixth Form student
Full of life! They are energetic, outgoing and happy to be here. Why else would they spend so much time here?
A Sixth Form student
Friendly, considerate of others, confident without being pushy, open-minded but able to express their own opinions, polite, enthusiastic, focused but not rushed in approach.
Chris Routh, Librarian & Tutor
Capable, likeable, outspoken and aware of moral obligations, casual, informal yet affable.
Karen Gracie-Langrick, Assistant Director of Sixth Form & Head of History
Caring, self-reliant, individual, tolerant culturally and socially.
A parent (Year 9)
Creative, flexible, aware, self-directed, co-operative, not afraid of silence.
A parent (Sixth Form)
