Our Mission
At Longfield Academy, we believe in a school community that nurtures unique individuals into being highly successful in their education, whilst supporting the development of every student into a responsible and valued member of their local, national and international communities. Regardless of their background or abilities, we strive to ensure that every student meets our high standards, achieves beyond expectations, and leaves our academy as lifelong learners with outstanding opportunities available to them.
To ensure we support our students’ development, Longfield Academy follows the recognised and highly acclaimed International Bacculaurate’s Middle Years Programme in years 7 to 9. This programme spans across eight subject areas and focuses on developing students into communicative, knowledgeable, and caring risk-takers, who are also principled, reflective, inquisitive, open-minded, and balanced thinkers. These attributes are instilled in all our students to support them developing through their education and beyond, and are an excellent foundation for our students as they progress into GCSE, Post-16 and further education.
Students at Longfield Academy are split into mixed ability form groups, with each college providing pastoral care to two form groups from each year. Whilst each college has a distinct identity, together they form the triad of Longfield leaves, to represent our united community here at Longfield Academy.
