That is the main goal for the primary school in Ketley Bank, Telford that has undergone a major transformation in recent years.
In 2022, the school changed its name to Lantern Academy which relates to the mining heritage and history of the region and embodies its aim of being a 'beacon of the community'.
Moreover, the school joined the Learning Community Trust which saw the arrival of new headteacher Mrs Skidmore and staff.
Nearly £1 million has been spent on developing and improving the school's appearance and infrastructure while the school has also seen the rollout of a new curriculum, focused on children becoming good citizens and community advocates.
The school prides itself on connecting with the community and welcomes parents and carers to their unique 'family learning' sessions where they work with children and support their development across the curriculum and enjoy hands-on learning activities.
Children enjoy expansive grounds, modern play equipment and a first-class forest school. Pupils are encouraged to be active and enjoy playing sport and representing their school.
