What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 March 2025
Pupils love to learn at this inclusive school where they 'live an honourable life in all its fullness' and attend well. The school thinks deeply about what pupils should learn, both personally and academically. Its high expectations for achievement include all pupils. Typically, they achieve well. The Longfleet values of 'be kind, be respectful, be resilient and be wise' shine through every aspect of the school's work. Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school. If bullying does happen, pupils trust adults to deal with it. The pupil-led 'keep safe council' support their peers on the playground. As a result, pupils across the school feel happy and safe. A plethora of clubs such as British Sign Language, football and cricket develop pupils' talents and interests. Pupils proudly represent the school in local and national tournaments. They learn to play musical instruments such as trumpet, cello, violin, flute or clarinet and play in the school's longstanding orchestra. Pupils in the chamber choir perform at a very high level with professional musicians at a local theatre. Educational trips bring the curriculum to life. Pupils especially value the residential visits to two outdoor activity centres, which help them develop independence and resilience.
What the school should improve
- In a small minority of subjects, the curriculum is not fully embedded. As a result, pupils do not develop as deep an understanding of the knowledge they need to be successful in these subjects. The trust should ensure that the curriculum is securely and consistently embedded across the school so pupils develop a deeper understanding over time.
