Longhorsley St Helen’s Church of England First School is a happy, caring school where all children are nurtured and encouraged to reach their full potential. As a Church of England school the Christian ethos is central to the life of the school community.
We are proud to offer a team of highly skilled and caring staff who provide a rich and exciting curriculum for our children.
Extract from National Society Statutory Inspection of Anglican Schools Report:
‘…this is a school in which happy children delight to learn and grow, in which Christian principles can be seen in generous action and in which worship enriches life.’
OFSTED judges Longhorsley to be a ‘Good’ school (February 2022):
This is a small school that feels like a family where everybody knows each other well. Staff make sure that pupils are well cared for and remain safe. Many parents and carers comment that the school goes ‘above and beyond’ to support the development of their children.
The core Christian values of love, friendship, forgiveness, honesty, hope and trust are appreciated by parents and drive the ethos of the school. The curriculum for personal, social, health and economic education contributes well to pupil’s personal development. If is designed to develop resilience, empathy and self-awareness through activities based on teamwork.
High expectations begin in early years, where children learn the routines that they need in order to work and play together… Leaders have planned an ambitious curriculum for all pupils. including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
I would be delighted to show you around school and discuss what Longhorsley can offer your family.
