Our Federation of Schools’ Mission:
In keeping with their historic foundations, Whalton and Longhorsley Schools aim to serve their communities by providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practice. They encourage an understanding of the meaning and significance of faith in all its forms, while respecting those of different or no faiths. The schools’ motto (taken from Matthew 22:39), and core values, which reflect their Christian origins, are intrinsic to the educational experience they offer to all their pupils:
Love your Neighbour as yourself so we can all aspire, believe and achieve to be the very best that we can be…
With Love at the centre of our core Christian values of Hope, Honesty, Forgiveness, Friendship and Trust, we aim to build a community ethos of lovingly serving one another, where everyone can aspire, believe and achieve to be the very best that they can be.
We were last inspected in December 2024 – see extract from our Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS):
The school’s Christian vision and associated values are deeply embedded. They drive decisions that enhance the work of this inclusive, nurturing and caring school. All are encouraged to love their neighbour as they aspire to be the best version of themselves.
