Extended Curriculum

An exciting and inclusive extended curriculum is crucial if students are to broaden their horizons and pursue indivdual interests. LPGS is fortunate to possess not only highly skilled teachers but enthusiastic student leaders who are able to contribute toward a vibrant enrichment and extra-curricular programme. The aim of our elective curriculum is to encourage students to facilitate learning across all key stages, build the essential life skills required to prepare them for the future and to encourage them to develop new passions. The programme is designed to foster curiousity, creativity and innovation and to allow students to map these to their Expert Learner attributes of Leadership, Global Citizenship, Teamwork, Determination, Problem Solving and Creativity.
