Welcome to Longmoor Community Primary School

Creating excellence, character and opportunity for every child

At Longmoor, we believe in the power of education to transform lives—and in our shared responsibility to ensure every child thrives. We are a welcoming and inclusive learning community where everyone—pupils, families, staff and governors—plays a part in creating something exceptional.

We create confident, capable and compassionate young people. Through a rich, purposeful curriculum and a nurturing environment, every pupil is encouraged to achieve their full potential as articulate, independent learners who are proud of who they are. We have high expectations of our children, and they respond with excellent behaviour and a positive attitude to learning.

Everything we do is underpinned by our core values: Determination, Respect, Integrity, Valour and Excellence—our DRIVE values. These are not just words on a wall, but principles we teach, model and expect from every member of our school community. They shape the character of our pupils and the culture of our school.

We create meaningful learning. Our committed and caring staff deliver a broad and engaging curriculum that balances academic rigour with creativity and curiosity. We prioritise high standards in English, Mathematics and Science, and our outcomes reflect the high-quality teaching children receive. But we are equally passionate about developing the whole child—strong in body, mind and spirit.

We create experiences that last a lifetime. All pupils benefit from specialist teaching in music, Spanish, gymnastics and dance, delivered by qualified teachers and coaches. We value creativity, expression and opportunity, ensuring every child can discover and develop their talents. Our curriculum is enriched with trips, performances, leadership opportunities and community initiatives, including our annual Spread a Little Kindness week, which encourages empathy and active citizenship.

Our school building is modern, spacious and well-equipped to support high-quality learning. We have well-resourced classrooms, two large halls, an expansive playground (with recent additions) and excellent IT provision—including our 1:1 Chromebook programme. Our bright and welcoming Early Years wing includes its own outdoor area and specialist play provision, creating the best possible start to school life.

We also offer extended Nursery hours and wraparound care through our partnership with Community Family Services providing continuity, support and flexibility for families.

As Headteacher, I feel privileged to lead such a vibrant and caring school. While this website offers just a snapshot, the best way to experience Longmoor is to see it in action. We would love to welcome you for a visit—please get in touch with our school office to arrange a time.

See you soon.
