Longlands Primary School and Nursery is part of the Marches Academy Trust. As part of the Trust, we believe in ‘achievement through caring’ by providing our pupils with a nurturing, vibrant and inclusive learning community. At Longlands, we are committed to providing a high-quality education that challenges and inspires our pupils to achieve their full potential. We foster a culture of curiosity, creativity and collaboration, where every child is valued and respected. We celebrate diversity and inclusion, and follow the EDIB curriculum that promotes equality, diversity, inclusion and belonging for all. We take a whole-child approach to the personal development of our children. Our wonderful school setting, with an allotment, farm and a variety of animals, enriches our pupils’ learning experiences. We also make the most of our outdoor environment, offering opportunities for outdoor learning in our woodland area, sports and play. We offer a range of clubs during lunchtimes and after school which help to encourage children’s individual talents and interests. We also nurture and support children’s wellbeing through our calm environment, regulation spaces and Meadow and Orchard learning support provision. We offer wraparound care from 8:00am in our breakfast club till 6:00pm in our ‘Kids Quest’ after school club. Our vibrant Nursery is a nurturing environment designed for children aged 2 to 4 years. We provide a safe and stimulating, multi-sensory learning environment to enable children to develop their skills and knowledge in all areas of development. We value play and learning opportunities initiated by the children, allowing them to play and explore, to be active learners, to be creative and to think critically. Whilst our engaging curriculum and environments encourage learning and independence, we have a flexible routine where we enjoy learning through play. We experience a mixture of adult led and free flow child-initiated sessions. Our ‘Wild Wood’ and social farm area further enhances the outdoor learning opportunities, encompassing all areas of the curriculum. We were proud to achieve a ‘Good’ rating in all areas of our recent Ofsted inspection. hildren are welcome to attend Nursery on a part-time or full-time basis (2-4 year olds): We offer morning and afternoon sessions as well as a full day. 3 hour morning sessions 9am-12pm or 3 hour afternoon session 12pm-3pm 15 hours across 2.5 days: Monday and Tuesday 9am-3pm then Wednesday 9am-12pm or Wednesday 12pm-3pm then Thursday and Friday 9am-3pm or 30 hours across 5 days 9am-3pm We accept 15 hour and 30 hours for 3-4 year olds and 24U funding.
