Longfield School celebrates ‘good’ Ofsted rating
We are thrilled to share that Longfield Academy has received a glowing Ofsted report, confirming that the school is no longer rated as inadequate, but has made a remarkable improvement to be rated as ‘Good’ in all four areas.
- The quality of education
- Behaviour and attitudes
- Personal development
- Leadership and management
Ofsted said “Longfield Academy has undergone significant change for the better. The culture is now one where pupils are happy, kind and friendly”.
This transformation has been the result of an incredible collective effort and is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and commitment of staff, pupils, parents and carers, governors, and the wider Trust.
