What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 April 2025
'A nurturing and inspiring environment for children to learn and grow' is one parent's view, capturing the essence of Longparish and the opinions of many parents and carers. 'Leap into Longparish' visits and activities ensure that children settle quickly and get off to a superb start in the Reception class. The values of 'excellence, friendship and respect' permeate all aspects of school life, indoors and outside. Behaviour is impressive. The school's squirrel characters teach pupils the important learning habits that they need to succeed now and in their future lives. Classrooms are calm and industrious. Pupils are captivated by their learning. They live up to the school's expectation of 'being the best me I can be' and achieve well. Pupils appreciate how lucky they are to learn and play in such an idyllic setting. The recent addition of the 'River House' has been greeted with much excitement, providing an ideal place to spot and learn about wildlife. The natural materials placed around the field spark pupils' imagination at playtimes. Great care is taken to widen their horizons beyond the 'Longparish bubble'. The residential trip to London is much anticipated. Pupils are introduced to local, national and global issues. They learn how they can help to make a difference to challenges such as food poverty and pollution.
What the school should improve
- Activities designed to help pupils recall previous learning beyond English and mathematics are still developing. Pupils cannot always bring important content to mind easily. The school should review how it ensures that teaching supports pupils to embed key knowledge and subject-specific skills in, and retrieve them from, their long-term memory.
