Longhorsley St Helen’s Church of England First School is a happy, caring school where all children are nurtured and encouraged to reach their full potential. As a Church of England school the Christian ethos is central to the life of the school community. 

We are proud to offer a team of highly skilled and caring staff who provide a rich and exciting curriculum for our children.

OFSTED judges Longhorsley to be

‘Longhorsley is a very good school. It is the centre of many local community activities and enjoys high levels of support and confidence from parents and the community’.

 ‘Pupils’ personal development is outstanding. Their behaviour is excellent and they respond very well to the warm and friendly atmosphere.’

 ‘The care and support for children are excellent. Staff provide a very safe and secure environment for pupils.’

 We have many achievements to be proud of, including our outstanding Ofsted report and our successful involvement with Creative Partnerships for the past four years. Our success has been endorsed through many accreditations for external agencies including Artsmark gold, Active mark, Healthy Schools and Investors in People. Our confederation with Longhorsley places us at the cutting edge of recent government reform.

I would be delighted to show you around school and discuss what Longhorsley can offer your family.
