 Guidance and information on how to help your child is available and sessions like Rhyme time and phonics workshops are planned.

 Lacewood is working hard to make our key policies clear and updates changes on the Lacewood Link Newsletter.

For children leaving our school we work closely with

secondary schools to ensure a smooth change to a new place of learning.
