Headteacher Message

Welcome to our loving, caring and inclusive school. At the heart of our community, Longhoughton CE Primary school seeks to nurture and inspire each child providing them with the self-belief, skills and understanding to make a positive impact on the world they will grow up in.

Our Christian Vision is that everyone is welcome, and each individual has unique qualities which we will nurture and celebrate.

This is founded in 1 Peter 4:10 – 11 “God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of gifts. Use them well to serve one another.”

We believe that the values of courage, compassion, creativity, respect and community underpin a healthy, ambitious and rounded development; through our inspiring curriculum and dedicated, highly-skilled staff, we provide the support for each child to grow with the confidence, skills and self-worth to contribute to a loving and caring society.

We believe that everyone should feel welcome here and that all parents or guardians should be comfortable to come in and talk to us whenever needed. You are the most important person in your child’s life and we believe you should be as involved in the school community as you would like to be. Through a strong partnership of trust and shared responsibility, we can work together to ensure the very best education and well being for all the children in our care.

We have a supportive and dedicated Governing Body, and a committed Parent Teacher Association that helps us with fundraising events – all parents and friends are very welcome to be a part of this.

I am looking forward to working with you as we build a truly special education for each and every one of our unique and wonderful children.
