Longdean School

Longdean is a large inclusive mixed academy school educating students from 11 to 18, set within the context of a bright, modern building with ample sporting facilities and green spaces. With just over 1260 students and over 150 staff, Longdean is renowned in the area for its inclusive ethos and dedication to getting the best out of each individual, both academically and personally, be they student, teacher or support staff member. The school focuses on empowering all students to become confident responsible, lifelong learners and citizens. Central to the school ethos is high quality teaching combined with personalised support and challenge that allows our students to obtain the skills and qualifications which give them control and choice over their futures. An innovative curriculum means that they are prepared for the world beyond school and for the jobs and careers of the future. Students have a wide range of opportunities beyond the classroom and are members of a community, learning to care for and lead others, making a real contribution in school, locally or further afield. It is important that their time at school is enriching and joyful and that they leave school as well-rounded emotionally-intelligent young people.
