Longton Primary School

Longton Primary School is a foundation school, maintained by the local authority but with some independence in governance.

We are a welcoming, inclusive school situated on School Lane, next to the park in Longton, Preston. Established in 1926, we are proud of our history and our commitment to helping every child achieve their best.

We provide education for children from age 3 in our nursery through to the end of primary school in Year 6. We want every child to feel safe, valued and confident, with the opportunity to develop academically, socially and emotionally.

Our school values are CARE, GROW, SHINE. We encourage children to care for themselves and others, grow as learners and individuals, and shine by developing their talents, confidence and independence.

Our curriculum is designed to build knowledge and skills progressively, helping children make connections in their learning and prepare for the next stage of their education. We promote curiosity, creativity, equality, diversity and respect, alongside high expectations for learning and behaviour.

Children's wellbeing is central to school life. We support pupils through positive relationships, open conversations, our buddy system, Forest School and wellbeing approaches including Relax Kids and A Confident Me. We work in partnership with parents and carers to help children feel happy, secure and ready to learn.

As a community-focused school, we want every child to feel that they belong, can thrive and has a voice. We work together with families to celebrate achievements, overcome challenges and help children develop the knowledge, skills and values they need for the future.
