What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 November 2024

Longford Park is a happy school. An art gallery showcasing pupils' high-quality work welcomes parents and carers and visitors to the school site. At the start of each school day, staff warmly welcome families with a smile and a friendly greeting. The school is aspirational for all pupils. The motto 'working together, learning forever' is at the heart of all the school does. This creates a climate where most pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) achieve well, become resilient, and learn to collaborate. Pupils love coming to school and feel safe. They learn how to stay safe online and in their local community. Pupils know that they can talk to an adult if they have any concerns. Pupils behave well. They are kind and respectful towards others. Any disagreements between peers are quickly sorted out. All pupils have plentiful opportunities for character development. Children in the early years complete 50 activities before they are five. These activities successfully encourage pupils to be curious, and to be adventurous and independent. Older pupils take on leadership responsibilities with enthusiasm. For example, reading champions listen to their peers read. Pupils also run their own clubs, such as chess, space and mathematics.

What the school should improve

  • There are occasions when staff do not adapt the activities and resources to meet the needs of some pupils with SEND. This means that these pupils do not achieve as well as they could. The school should share the existing effective practice in the school to help all staff get better at supporting pupils with SEND.
  • Some pupils do not have a broad knowledge of different types of texts, authors and poems. This means they do not have a wider enjoyment of reading. To further develop pupils' love of reading, the school should promote reading for pleasure.
