Headmaster Andrew Mead said, “I would like to congratulate all our students on their superb examination results – not just those who achieve the top grades, but also those who have worked really hard, sometimes against significant odds and still made exceptional progress. They can be really proud of what they have achieved and can now move on with confidence to the next phase of their educational journey.”

We are very much looking forward to continuing to work with this fabulous cohort of students, the majority of whom are planning to join our sixth form.  Any student who is still unsure where to pursue their studies next year, is invited to contact the school sixth form office (sixthform@lytchett.org.uk) to discuss possible Level 3 options. With our amazing facilities, superb teachers and excellent pastoral care, our sixth form is increasingly being seen as the ideal place to come and study post-16. 

Lytchett Minster School will be holding its Open Evening on Thursday 24^th September (6.00pm-8.00pm). We would encourage all Year 6 and Year 5 children and their families to come and see what this fantastic school has to offer.
