What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 30 January 2024

Longlevens Junior School is a kind and happy school where pupils are encouraged to be individuals, and all are valued. Staff care deeply about the well-being of every pupil at this enriching community school. As a result, pupils enjoy coming to school and feel safe. The school prioritises pupils' high attendance, and this has ensured that pupils attend regularly. Many pupils behave very well and show positive attitudes. If bullying occurs, the school takes swift action. In lessons, pupils are focused and eager to participate. They enjoy sharing their ideas and opinions in class. In the playground, pupils have stimulating and fun playtimes. Routines like the 'daily mile' support pupils' understanding of health and well-being. Pupils take on positions of responsibility with pride. For example, they can participate in the eco-council, the school council or as e-safety captains. The e-safety captains hand out internet safety leaflets during parents' evenings or deliver whole-school assemblies about keeping safe online. The school provides a wide range of clubs, including French club, boys' and girls' football and dodgeball. There is something for everyone. These activities reflect the importance that the school places on preparing pupils for the next steps in their education.

What the school should improve

  • In a very small number of subjects, the school is refining the content of the curriculum. On occasion, this means that pupils do not develop a deep understanding of the knowledge they need to be successful. The school needs to ensure that the curriculum is securely and consistently embedded so that pupils develop a deeper understanding over time.
