ensuring that our scholars were back to school on time. You have always been a part

of our success story.

To our ever hard working members of staff, we laud your commitment. We give kudos

the activities of the Academy, most especially their academics. He feels fulfilled

He appreciates the members of staff of LWA for their steadfast dedication in the

delivery of their duties. He prays that God will continue to bless them with wisdom so

as to constantly impact knowledge on our future leaders.

Mr. Chairman wishes to implore our esteemed parents to maintain the support they

have always given to the Academy as they play a pivotal role in the development of

the child from the home front. He wishes to intimate our parents of some new

innovation by the Academy geared towards improving our scholars academically.

These initiative include; our Monday Mathematics Wizard (MMW), Lordswill English

Drills (LED) and Science-Tech Wizard (STEW) amongst others.

The Chairman is appealing to parents to always pay school fees on time so as to aid

the Academy in the proper planning of the school’s activities and to enable the

Academy serve them better. He is appealing to parents who are yet to clear the 2nd

term fees to please do so, thus avoiding accumulation.

He is also reminding parents that he is fully on ground in the school and his doors are

widely open to any parent willing to see or discuss any academic and moral matters of

his/her ward(s) with him.

ACADEMICS

The second term 2018/2019 academic session was loaded with activities but highly

disrupted by the several holiday breaks caused by the 2019 elections. We are

grateful to God because we were still very much able to meet up with our scheme of

3

work for the term. We appreciate our members of staff and also our excellent

scholars for their performances in 2nd term Quality Assurance and examinations. The

benchmark of the Academy still remains seventy percent (70%) and this was met by

the most of the scholars.

The 70% LWA benchmark remains constant and we assure you that we will always

make learning more simplified and child-oriented.

Below is our activity schedule for the 2nd term 2018/2019 academic year. This

LWA ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS

Admission into Lordswill Academy for the 2019/2020 academic session is ongoing.

We encourage parents to invite their friends and loved ones to take advantage of

this opportunity and enroll their wards. The 27th day of May, 2019/1st and 29th

days of June, 2019 are scheduled for our entrance examinations. In LWA we

strive towards perfection in all that we do, remember, our motto reads ‘LWA –

Perfect Link to Excellence!’ Lordswill Academy is a school to be.

EXTERNAL EXAMINATIONS

The external examinations are around the corner and our scholars are seriously

preparing for it. The WAEC examinations will commence on the 23rd of April, 2019

in our center. This examination will come to an end on the 24th day of May, 2019.

Registration for the NECO examinations is ongoing. We appeal to parents whose

wards are in the exam classes to please complete the payment of their ward’s fees.

We assure our parents that scholars will come out with astonishing results.

The NCEE has been postponed to Saturday the 27th day of April, 2019. Extension

classes are ongoing for our pupils so as to prepare them. We encourage parents to

assist their wards do more revisions at home.

EXTENSION CLASSES

Extension classes for the pupils of Primary 5, JSS 3 and SSS 3 is ongoing during

this break in the Academy. Time is 9:00am – 2:00pm. This is to adequately prepare

our scholars for their external examinations. Parents are expected to drop off and

pick their wards accordingly.

We also encourage parents to help scholars do revisions at home so as to keep

their brains fresh for the forthcoming external examinations. We assure our

parents that our scholars will come out with flying colours after these exams.

COMPETITIONS

In LWA, we deliberately involve and engage our scholars in both internally and

externally organized competitions. This is aimed at exposing them to different

spheres of the society as well as giving them the opportunity to mingle and relate

with their counterparts.

7

The introduction of our Monday Mathematics Wizard (MMW), Lordswill English

Drills (LED) and Science-Tech Wizard (STEW), our scholars are now in love with

English, Mathematics and Sciences. We issue out certificate to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd

positions in each class weekly.

In the course of 2nd term, 2018/2019 Academic Session, we had our English and

French Spelling Bee competitions. Other competitions were the MMW, LED,

STEW, Cowbellpedia and American Mathematics.

We look forward to involving our scholars in more competitions come 3rd term

2018/2019 Academic Session as so many interesting and educative competitions

are in the pipeline.

RELIGIOUS MORALS

In a bid to continuously develop our scholars’ character, we have introduced the

celebration of Masses in the school. The Priest celebrated Mass at the end of the

term for both our staff and scholars. This trend will be maintained as consent

letters will always be sent to parents for their approval. This event will occur

thrice each term.

BIBLE/QURAN VERSES

We wish to intimate our parents that all plans has been concluded for the smooth

take off of a Bible/Quran session for the scholars on a weekly basis where they

will be made to study the holy books according to the faith and then memorize a

memory verse for the week. It promises to be morally and spiritually enriching.

Parents are encouraged to get either of the holy books for their wards.

EASTER CLASS PARTY

“All work without play makes Jack a dull boy”. At the end of the term, after the

rigorous academic and extra-curricular activity sessions, scholars took time out

when they had their Easter Class Party on Friday being the 5th day of April, 2019.

It was a fun-filled day.

We appreciate our esteemed parents for the show of love and support which led to

the successful outing of the day.

8

INTER-HOUSE SPORTS

The inter-house sports will hold in third term, 2018/2019 academic session. We

had too much breaks due to the 2019 elections and so decided that it be postponed

to third term. The date is the 9th of May, 2019.

We are appealing to our parents to please pay up for sport T-shirts so that our

scholars will appear elegantly on the day.

PARTNERSHIPS

Aside our academic environment, we are constantly exposing our scholars to

different spheres of the society. We engage them with our numerous partners who

come into the school to sensitize them on various areas of life. Over the years, we

witnessed the likes of Dettol, Milo, One 2 Ten project, Hollandia yogurt, the

Nigerian Red Cross Society, Society for Family Health, Indomie, African Union,

etc, who came into our campus for different programmes. Our scholars are kept

abreast on the various trends in the society with these partners who create

awareness on different issues in the community.

DEBATE

In order to achieve our goal of a holistic child development, grooming our

students/pupils on public speaking skills is a deliberate and well planned programme

by the Academy. With this, we continually organize debates for them both at intra

and inter-class bases. This, we believe, will help them to improve on their public

speaking skills, composure and critical thinking.

Our two English and Diction teachers are always on ground, teaching both the

scholars and members of staff to articulate their words correctly.

CLUBS

Our Club programmes are highly commendable as the execution of our outlined

activities are always well carried out. These clubs carry out extra-curricular

9

activities which help develop the inner potentials of our scholars. It is mandatory

for scholars to belong to various clubs of their choices. We therefore advise our

esteemed parents to join in our campaign of the total child development as they

key into our vision by encouraging them to participate fully in the activities of

these clubs.

We are happy to inform our esteemed parents of the introduction of the LWA

Football Academy. Parents are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity.

EDUCATIONAL VISITS

It is said that “travelling is part of education”, in the course of 2nd term,

2018/2019 academic session, our Secondary school students visited the ECOWAS

Parliament for their excursion, while the Preschool and Primary pupils visited the

Federal Fire service station all in Abuja. Both educational visits were informative,

educative and fun filled.

We laud our parents who stood by us during this wonderful outing

COMMUNICATION BOOK

The use of the Communication Book as a link between the school and home is a

standard we have maintained and will keep it up. Your response to our observations

and issues raised will enable us offer you the very best. Kindly communicate using

this medium any time a child is on medication and any official issues that concerns

your child(ren) as non-written communication shall not be honoured. We plead once

again that you endorse the relevant portion of the book on a daily basis. Feel free

to indicate your area(s) of concern and useful suggestions.

We have noticed that some students have refused to avail their parents the

Communication Book. In such a case, notify the school authority and demand for it.

It is a school – parents’ communication book and is meant to enhance free flow of

information as well as aid prompt interventions as the case may be.

10

UNIFORMS

LWA uniform is her identity! As part of our standards and quality assurance,

students/pupils are expected to come into school well groomed at all times. On the

strength of this, we solicit that parents make conscious efforts towards procuring

at least two sets of uniforms for their child(ren) at the beginning of every

academic year. We enjoin parents of returning scholars, in particular, to please

check the uniforms of their child(ren)/ward(s) and kindly replace faded, tattered

and torn uniforms. Undersized shorts, skirts, pinafores or trousers are not

accepted. Note that children grow at a very fast rate and outgrow their wears too.

Please, also note that there are slight changes in the prizes of these uniforms; this

is because of the new order (purchase) made. Furthermore, school shoes are

covered black shoes with no heels and white canvas for sports days. The approved

socks are plain white socks. (Available in the school store) Please, only pin earrings

(small studded) are allowed for girls and well kept hair cut for the boys.

LWA DRESS CODE

We wish to appeal to our esteemed parents to help us ensure that scholars comply

with the school’s dress code and hairstyles. All students are expected to dress in

their complete uniforms, black shoes, white ankle socks and blazer for the

secondary. The girls must adhere to the hairstyle at all times, while the boys are

to appear in neat low haircut. Defaulting students will not be allowed into the

school premises as enforcement will be from the gate henceforth. We therefore

appeal to parents to ensure compliance while thanking you for your usual

cooperation.

OPEN DAY/ PARENTS’ FORUM

We sincerely apologize to our parents on our inability to have these two activities,

as they were disrupted by the 2019 elections. We needed more time to face

academic upon resumption so as to cover our schemes.

Thank you esteemed parents for your understanding. We hope that in 3rd term

these events will take place.

11

QUALITY ASSURANCE/CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT & EXAMINATION

In LWA, we do not compromise with our bench mark. Our benchmark remains 70%.

We assure our esteemed parents that all parameters are in place to enable us

achieve the above benchmark. We enjoin every parent to keep partnering with us

by playing their roles from the home front. This will enable us serve you better.

The 2018/2019 academic session was a huge success as we recorded great

performances by scholars. This, we believe you can attest to because it is

reflected on our scholars’ Quality Assurance Assessment, Continuous Assessment

and Examination of this term. This standard we assure you, will be sustained.

FRIDAY THEMES

As part of our strategies in achieving the goal of our total child development, we

constantly execute our Friday Theme activities. Our Friday Themes are second to

none. In 2nd term 2018/2019, we witnessed Friday themes such as; LWA Reading

Week, LWA International Flag Week, LWA Healthy Living Week, LWA Maths

Week, etc.

These themes which are given to scholars allow them to make research and do the

presentation on the assembly grounds thus, building their confidence, especially in

public speaking.

We say a big thank you to our esteemed parents for the support given to us and

their wards in seeing to it that our desired goals were met. We count on your

continuous support.

DISCIPLINE

We have sustained a more disciplined atmosphere so far this term, considering the

fact that over the years, there has been significant improvement in scholars’

discipline. We attribute this to the support of most parents who in partnership

with us, inculcate sound morals in the children. We sincerely encourage our

esteemed parents to continue with this laudable practice at home as we promise to

keep counseling and correcting them on unacceptable and unusual behahviour, thus

producing better Nigerian children. We use this medium to appeal to parents to

12

always make sure that their wards’ (the boys) hair is cut low at all time, while the

girls should keep a nice and well plaited hairdo in tune with the style of the week.

LATENESS TO SCHOOL

We must commend the efforts of our parents on the improvement

we have noticed in punctuality in the last term. Our expectations are high, so, we

still appeal that more commitment be made, since this forms part of our character

development training for LWA scholars. Resumption time is on or before 7:45am

and all students are expected to be in school latest by 7:30am daily. We appeal to

parents to please assist the school to entrench punctuality in our children.

Remember, lateness to any programme is globally taken as indiscipline.

As a follow-up, the policy of locking the school gate after 8:00am or requesting

defaulting parents to sign in their wards will fully be enforced. Please note that

where this becomes a routine, the parent(s) in question shall be requested to meet

with the school management team for conferencing.

SPORT DAYS

The need to exercise the body cannot be over emphasis. This is why we select

special days for sporting activities so as to make our scholars fit for their day to

day activities. Our sport day for Pre-school, Lower Primary and Secondary is every

Wednesday, while Upper Primary is every Thursday. Scholars are to appear in their

sport wears on these days. Parents whose ward’s sport wears are worn-out are

advised to purchase new ones.

We thank you for your usual cooperation.

13

VOCATIONAL DEPARTMENT

Our Vocational Department has skilfully engaged our scholars over the years. We

assure our esteemed parents that we shall continually maintain our scholars’

entrepreneurial skills through various activities and well packaged programmes in

the Vocational Department to enrich their skills. Entrepreneurial skills cannot be

over emphasized in our today’s world. That is why we believe in equipping our

scholars to face the society as they graduate from the Academy. This Department

is well equipped so as to develop the talents and skills embedded in our scholars.

This, we achieve by the use of waste materials, natural resources within the

environs as well as the use of the computer. These materials and resources include;

newspapers, raffia palm, clay and the likes. Our scholars are also taught how to

bake, make natural fruit juice, liquid soap, izal, odour control, shampoo, body

creams amongst others.

We appeal to our esteemed parents to encourage their wards to carry out

whatsoever they have learnt in school at home. Parents should please provide them

with necessary materials.

The Vocational Department promises to keep upgrading to meet the trend of the

day as we grow.

END OF TERM ASSIGNMENT/PROJECTS

We appreciate the support and efforts of our esteemed parents in working with us

at seeing that scholars always do and submit their projects/assignment on time.

Our end of term assignments were included in students’ result packs for the term.

We encourage parents to assist scholars to complete all assignment. Scholars are

expected to submit them upon resumption. We wish to remind parents that

assignment/projects form part of scholars’ scores at the end of the term.

We appeal to parents to always stick to the deadlines for submission of these

projects and assignment. Minimal adult guidance/assistance is allowed (where

necessary) whenever these projects and assignment are given.

LWA SAPPHIRE CRÈCHE (4 MONTHS and ABOVE)

Our crèche service is second to none. Our crèche is fully air-conditioned and well

equipped for your baby’s safety and pleasure. We still have very few available

spaces on a first come, first serve basis. Don’t miss the opportunity of this

conducive, safe and serene environment for your baby.

14

MENTORING (PRIMARY AND SECONDARY)

In LWA, we explore all legal avenues to achieving our goal of holistic child

development. This is why the compulsory mentoring in the Primary and Secondary

sections of the Academy has been result-oriented and it is sustained. This

mentoring holds every Thursday between 3pm – 4pm. We wish to remind our

beloved parents that the closing time for this day is by 4:00pm for pick up of their

wards. Kindly cooperate with us so that we can serve you better. We thank you for

keying into our vision.

BUS SERVICE

We thank our esteemed parents who make use of our bus shuttle. We appeal to all

our parents whose children use the bus service to please always make payment

before the resumption of any term so as to enable us have adequate

preparation for a smooth take off of the term. Note that scholars who do not

pay by resumption shall not be picked or returned. We are thanking you for your

prompt response. To assist us serve you better, parents are encouraged to always

counsel their wards on best behaviour during bus shuttle. Parents should always

make ready their wards before the arrival of the bus as a minute extra spent in

one house definitely distorts the routine of that particular bus.

We are appealing to parents who do not use the bus service to always pick up their

wards immediately the school closes. We have observed that some parents still

pick up their ward(s) late after school hours. This is not healthy for our scholars.

We also use this medium to appeal to parents not to allow minors to drive their

ward(s) to school.

LOST BUT FOUND ITEMS

This is to remind our parents and guardians that some misplaced items (cardigans,

school ties, blazers, water bottles etc) are in the school store. Parents are advised

to kindly visit the store for identification, confirmation and collection. Please note

that evidence of ownership shall be required for collection. Labeling of ward’s item

for easy identification is highly recommended.

15

CONFERENCING

Conferencing has over the years created an enabling platform for the school and

parents to dialogue on issues affecting our scholars. This trend shall always be

operational in the Academy. We appreciate our esteemed parents who have always

responded to invitation for conferencing and appeal to others to always respond to

this call. We wish to remind you that the duty of raising a child is a collaborative

effort of both the parents and the school. To enable us achieve this great task,

parents should always take conferencing as a platform to dialogue and partner with

the school to bring out the best in the children. We advise our parents to take

advantage of this great opportunity.

DISRUPTION OF CLASSES BY PARENTS

In line with our school’s policy, no parent is allowed into the class unless on special

occasion as maybe permitted by the school authority. Parents are therefore,

advised to ensure scholars come to school with their lunch packs. Better still, lunch

boxes can be dropped with the Front Desk Officer of the School for onward

delivery to child(ren).

We wish to notify our esteemed parents to always sit in the school hall as they

come for pick up of their ward(s) at closing hours. We assure you that our staff

shall always be on the alert to attend to you. We thank parents for their

cooperation.

BALLET CLUB

Ballet is an artistic dance form performed to music which requires precise

and highly formalized set steps and gestures. In LWA, we strive for

excellence in all that we engage in. The club’s performances in the course of

16

the term were awesome. We believe that this will go a long way in promoting

a better posture, sculpts and tone as well as develop the body of scholars.

Other benefits include; relief of stress, body flexibility and creative

expression of the body. We encourage parents to allow their ward(s) to key

into this great club of ours.

Ballet Club is fun-filled and interesting, come join us!

GYMNASTIC CLUB

Gymnastics is a sport practiced by men and women that requires balance,

strength, flexibility, agility, coordination, endurance and control. The

movement in gymnastics contributes to the development of so many parts of

the body such as; the arms, legs, back, shoulders, chest etc. It also aids in

the development of self-confidence, self-discipline, alertness etc. This is

why in LWA, we give our scholars an enabling environment to get involved in

this wonderful sport. The LWA gymnastics club is waxing stronger each day,

as scholars have fun while keeping themselves fit through this sport for

their day to day activities. We encourage parents to avail their wards this

great opportunity, you never can tell, your ward(s) could go global through

this club.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Our Entrepreneurship Club is geared towards equipping our scholars with skills to

be able to fit into our present day economy. We do not only prepare them

academically but also sharpen their skills to becoming entrepreneurs. In this club,

scholars are taught to make some cleaning agents, coconut oil, coconut chips, zobo

drink, smoothie and baking. Items made by the scholars were displayed for

17

marketing in the school compound which some parents patronized. We say a big

thank you.

We assure our esteemed parents that we are well equipped for Entrepreneurial

Club next term.

SPEECH ELOCUTION/COMPREHENSION

In LWA, we strive to maintain the global standards. In order to boost our scholars’

fluency in spoken and written English, our phonics and diction teachers are well

equipped for the task, thus teaching our scholars to articulate and speak at the

right diction. This will continue to give our scholars an age over their counterparts.

VOLUNTEERING

We say a very big thank you to our esteemed parents for being there for us and

for the supports over the years. The term witnessed great support from parents in

different areas. The class party support was impeccable. We encourage our

esteemed parents to continue partnering with us so as to enable us safeguard the

future of our children.

We continue to solicit your volunteering in any way e.g. fueling of the school buses

and power plant, getting of books for the library, facilitating of training session

for both scholars and members of staff, purchase of water for our water

dispensers etc as we resume for 3rd term academic session.

LWA TUCKSHOP

Our TUCKSHOP (School Canteen) is being sustained as we stock assorted snacks

and drinks for your ward’s refreshment. Some snacks include;

Optional snacks

Scotch eggs

Sausage rolls

Doughnuts

Meat pie

Fruit salad

Smoothies

Birthday cakes and assorted birthday snacks

Drinks of assorted types

Fruit/smoothies – N5,000.00 per scholar for a term.

Please note that every child is expected to benefit from the school’s fruit and

smoothies services three times a week. Fruit salad will be given two times while

smoothies will be served once a week.

For the purchase of snacks, soft drinks, juice and other materials, parents are

advised to effect payment in the account department for proper documentation.

18

Remember that scholars are not allowed to bring money to school. Adherence to

the above arrangement will be highly appreciated and will assist us to serve you

better.

DYNAMIC PROGRAMME

This programme has been fully initiated in LWA. Some scholars have been

identified as challenged in Mathematics, English and Sciences through our

checklist assessment. Strategies have been put in place to help the scholars

concerned manage their areas of weakness and still maintain the same pace with

their mates.

We had conferencing with the parents of the concerned scholars. This is to enable

us collaborate with the scholars’ parents for an excellent result. So far, a lot has

been put in place since the inception of this programme and we believe that parents

are seeing the result.

LWA has introduced an innovative way to help scholars with learning difficulties

with the establishment of the Dynamic Unit (Part of Special Education Needs

Unit). One of the aims of the Department is to ensure that all our scholars can

access the curriculum readily and work to their full potentials. These pupils have

been placed on an Individual Educational Plan (IEP). This is a teaching and learning

plan that sets targets and actions for the scholars. This plan is different from, or

in addition to other plans that are in place for the class. At LWA, we believe that

it is very important for parents and scholars to be involved and aware of the

targets set in the plan. The IEP allows us to plan for progression, monitor the

effectiveness of teaching and the provision for additional support. The Dynamic

pupils’ academic, social and behavioral performances for the last two terms speak

for the unit and are evident in their results. Parents are strongly advised to track

our progression as we promise to sustain this programme.

PARENTAL GUIDE

We strongly advise our esteemed parents to play their role from the home front in

guiding and monitoring their wards. We recommend that parents should checkmate

and control the use of phone by their child(ren). We have observed that in the

secondary section, our students have created a whatsapp platform, which is not a

bad idea. Our concerns are the type of discussion they have on such a platform.

Parents are also advised to monitor the type of friends their wards keep, where

they go and the type of activities they engage in.

As partners in the development of the total child, your support and contribution is

paramount.

NOTE TO PARENTS

Parents are advised to relax and spend this yuletide with their children as

this is a period of family reunion.

Parents should please help their ward(s) to reduce or discontinue cartoon

watching when school is in session. Same applies to languages used at home

because children learn from their environs, that is, what they see and hear.

We also advise our esteemed parents to watch with keen interest the kind

of friends their child(ren) keep and places they go to as kidnapping is on the

increase.

We appeal to parents to adhere to the directives from our security men

while dropping off and picking their children so as not to block the entrance

into the school and also to ease traffic.

In order to avoid misplacement of books, parents are encouraged to always

monitor books brought home by their ward(s) and also ensure complete

return of those books to school.

Parents are encouraged to always make effort to give their children food as

they come to school as breakfast is a very important meal.

Parents are please advised to get age appropriate story books, French,

Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba and English dictionaries as well as Revised Standard

Version Bible for their wards.

We strongly advise our esteemed parents to always create and spend time

with their children as they need parental guide, company and

warmth/friendship.

Parents should please monitor the manner in which the Child(ren) make use

of their phones and tablets.

Parents are advised to visit the School’s Store and identify missing items of

their wards.

We appeal to parents to always inscribe names on their children’s belongings

for easy identification in cases of misplacement of items.
