Larkmead School in top 100 most improved schools in country.
The official Department for Education performance tables have confirmed that Larkmead School is in the prestigious top 200 most improved schools. This measure looks at performance over the past 4 years. Larkmead is in fact 90th in that top 200 and this makes it the most improved school in Oxfordshire over the past 4 years.
I would like to thank every member of our, very broad, community for all the support and contribution that they make. We should all be very proud of this considerable achievement.

School Uniform
I would like to congratulate the vast majority of Larkmead students for their very smart appearance, and I would also like to thank parents/carers for their continued support of our uniform policy. Please can I remind everyone that the only permitted piercings are one small pair of ear studs worn in the ear lobes (these must be removed for P.E. and Dance to comply with Health and Safety regulations). Any other piercings are not permitted. Plastic retainers will no longer be permitted to be worn. Students should therefore plan to have a new piercing only at the start of the summer holidays when it will have time to heal before the start of term.
