What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 November 2023
Pupils thrive at Longnor CofE Primary School. Every pupil takes an active part in school life, be it through taking part in sports events, running lunchtime clubs or taking on a variety of roles and responsibilities. Pupils' voices are listened to. For example, the eco-committee members changed the reward system and moved to an electronic system instead of raffle tickets, so they could save paper. The school has very high expectations of what pupils can achieve, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The curriculum is ambitious and, as a result, all pupils develop a depth of knowledge in all subjects. Pupils' behaviour is excellent. They work hard in lessons and fallings out are extremely rare. Pupils take pride in their learning, and this is reflected in the effort they put into their work. There are strong relationships across the school. Pupils feel safe because they know both their friends and adults will help solve issues should they arise. Pupils have a wide range of opportunities to develop interests, such as producing podcasts, running clubs and playing in the school band. At this school, no child is excluded and all are encouraged to find their individual gifts and talents.
