Parent Portal Update including Android and Apple appDue to the migration, all parents will have to reactivate their parent portal accounts by following the steps on this page. http://www.lpgs.bromley.sch.uk/1221/parent-portalYou can also download the Firefly for Parents app from the App Store or the Google Play Store. These pages provide a basic introduction to the apps:Getting started (Android/Apple)Bookmarks (Android/Apple)Messages (Android/Apple)You will require our school code to log in for the first time. This is LPGS.
Firefly MigrationWe have successfully migrated our Firefly system to the cloud. This should improve the performance of the system during busy times.Students have been sent the new instructions for logging in (the last reminder was sent on 20/01/20 at 7.00am).
Why should I log in to the parent portal?The parent portal gives you access to your child’s timetable, tasks, behaviour logs and attendance as well as access to subject areas containing lesson resources and other important information.In the future we will be sharing trip letters, consent forms and our medical form via Firefly so will need at least one parent/carer in each household to activate their account so they can access these documents easily when required.

It provides university, college and apprenticeship information, careers information, CV builders, reading lists, local labour market information and much more….Everything is updated regularly.

Zone In
Boost your skills and beat lockdown boredom with Zone In! Each week they’ll post three new challenges and exclusive videos from special guests. Get started below.
This week's special guest is...
Rosie Gallagher, beauty blogger and make-up artist,
MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS BY CREATING A SHORT FILM
We want children and young people to create a short film and use nature and their surroundings in an engaging and creative way, to capture the calmness and document something they've noticed or appreciated while spending more time in their local area. Whether it's in the garden, the local park, or even from inside the home, the natural world is all around us.
Encourage children to get creative and use their natural surroundings to make a short film, 3 mins or under in length (including titles and credits) using what equipment you have in the home. Films can be made on a mobile phone, tablet or camera, and we have a range of filmmaking resources to help support you.
• According to Greek mythology, when Theseus entered the Labyrinth to kill the minotaur (a half-man, half-bull), he unravelled a "clew" — a ball of string — behind him, so he could find his way back.
• The word "clue" didn't even exist until the mid-1500s when people started to vary the spelling of "clew."
The Louise RennisonNational Funny Award
A writing and performing arts competition designed to showcase the creative and comedic talents of young people throughout the UK.

The competition is FREE to enter and falls into two categories:Comedic Writing (up to 1,000 words or three pages of creative copy –this could be a short story, a script, a screen play, a book chapter or an article for a magazine or newspaper).

Taking us back to the late 60s – the year Humans first stepped on the moon. One of the biggest hits from the American duo with their recognisable vocal harmonies and catchy melodies.
