WELCOME

We hope that you find it easy to navigate and that you find the information and children's work useful.

Picture of the Lathom school At Lathom we believe that all our children deserve the best education we can give them. We work hard to create a successful learning culture, which will enable pupils to become informed, confident, enthusiastic, inspired and independent learners for life.
We have developed an ethos where we continually try to spark children's interest and their quality of learning is central to the school's work and purpose. All children are encouraged to achieve their full potential and celebrate their achievement.

John Halliwell, Head of School
