The academy is recognised by Ofsted as being Good with an Outstanding Sixth Form. Our students achieve well and we have a positive learning environment, as well as strong links within our community. At Longfield Academy, we care, we are respectful, we believe in each other, we work hard, and we have boundless aspirations. Staff here are ambitious for the academy and all its pupils. Our broad and balanced curriculum, underpinned by International Baccalaureate principles, helps to prepare our students to effectively participate in a democratic society. We are extremely proud of our state-of-the-art facilities and the opportunities these afford our students to ‘Achieve Beyond Expectations’.I sincerely hope that you enjoy the virtual tour of our academy, and that our website gives you further insights into our vision and ethos.
