About The Lantern Community Primary

Headteacher: Mr Anthony Aguda

We are proud to be based in Ely and our aim is to ensure that the children shine their light in each community that they belong to. The children of the Lantern are lucky to have such supportive families that means we can all work and learn together.

The Lantern Community Primary School opened in 2004 and was built to cater for the children of families living on the western side of the city.

The school has been carefully designed to be a focal point for the community.

Lying adjacent to the existing secondary school and very close to the Highfield Special School we are at the heart of the new community and enjoy far-reaching views of Ely Cathedral.  The position of the school has been ideal for establishing inclusion work with the adjacent schools.  Students from Ely College come to The Lantern School for work experience and children from Highfield join in with music and Literacy in one of our KS1 classes.  Highfield also use the school for work experience placements for their older students.

Our curriculum enables the children to develop their own learning and shape their own understanding as they use prior learning to embed and secure new skills and knowledge. We are fortunate at the Lantern to have excellent facilities and a modern, bright school which facilitates the children’s learning opportunities.

Our children are well mannered and display very positive behaviour to each other and towards their learning. Visitors regularly comment on the friendly and welcoming atmosphere of the school.

We recognise that the children are part of many different and diverse communities and try to celebrate this in school. We also like to concentrate on 8 communities which every child in the school belongs to.

  1. Their family, the people they live with every day.
  2. Their class, the children they see each day at school.
  3. Their house team, children who they regularly collaborate and share common goals with.
  4. Their school, our school, which we all share.
  5. Their city, Ely, the place which the school is in and where most of the children live.
  6. Their country, the British Isles, its values and identity.
  7. Their continent, what it means to be a part of European culture.
  8. Their planet, our world, what can they do to make it a better place?
