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 May 2017 – see extract from our Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS):
“The recent revision of selected Christian values by the whole school community has had significant impact on the Christian character of the school. Pupils demonstrate friendship, forgiveness, trust, hope, honesty and love for each other in abundance and are aware of the impact this has on their relationships. Data shows pupils’ attainment to be above that expected nationally and pupils display strong spiritual, moral, social and cultural understanding in their work and interactions. The behaviour of pupils is excellent and they enjoy coming to school ensuring that attendance figures are well above national average. Pupils display a great love, enjoyment and pride in their school.”
