From the Principal…
It has been a great week for competitive sport at LVC as the match reports from football fixtures celebrate below. Older members of the College have also been engaged in the Debate Mate challenge which was a privilege to observe and co-judge with Mr Stewart and Lucy Frazer this morning. These kinds of enriching extra-curricular opportunities help students to gain confidence and co-operative skills beyond the classroom. They will prove useful in personal statements for Post 16 applications and in developing their own character and life-long skills and interests.
There was lots of lively dialogue at the first of our two Year 11 parents’ evenings last night. The themes of many conversations included ensuring that students make the most of the learning opportunities and support available to them to harness their potential during their remaining months at LVC. With mock exams and Sixth Form open evenings on the horizon, there was also a keen desire to help students to achieve a good balance between working hard and looking after their physical and mental health and wellbeing.
Spending time walking together in the fresh air next Friday will be a welcome end to term providing collective exercise and fundraising for the Friends of LVC. Do pledge your support for tutor groups if you haven’t done so already through the College website and don’t forget to order refreshments for the walk via sQuid.

Football successes Under 16 Girl’s v Bury St Edmunds County Upper School (2nd Round of the Schools National Football Cup) 2-0 The girls took off with a flying start, Georgia England scoring very early on giving LVC a 1-0 lead. The girls used the width of the pitch well and the pace from their team to get around defenders very easily. Georgia England scored the second goal, giving LVC a 2-0 lead into the second half. Our defence was under a lot of pressure during the second half, but Emily Jones was composed
and performed excellently in goal. On to the next round
for the girls! Under 16 Boy’s v Witchford (2nd Round of the Schools National Football Cup) 5-1 The boys conceded very early on, with Witchford scoring within the first five minutes of the game. The team fought back and managed to lead 2-1 with Jack Palmer scoring both goals. After a team talk at half time the boys came back out with a positive attitude. LVC were awarded a penalty, giving Jack Palmer a hat-trick. Ben Landshoff scored the fourth goal and Alex North scored the fifth and final goal. On to the next round for the boys! Miss Cox

Hello Yellow Members of the College
community wore yellow on
Wednesday to contribute to the
Young Minds’ campaign. The
staff room was awash with shades of mustard, daffodil and
lemon to destigmatise mental health.

Annie auditions On Monday 8th October one hundred students from all year groups attended an ‘Annie’ sing along movie night. Pizza and popcorn were consumed as students sang loudly to ‘Tomorrow’ and ‘It’s a Hard-Knock Life’. There was a real buzz in the Hall and we are looking forward to rounds three and four of auditions next week. There has been an overwhelming response to this production and directors are preparing to make some difficult casting decisions. Ms Kähr
Debating champions Eight Year 11 students took part in the Debate Mate competition led by MP Lucy Frazer this morning. All involved presented very compelling arguments. The two students chosen to represent LVC in the next stage of debating at the Houses of Parliament are Maya Hide and Louis Levine. Mr Stewart
