High Expectations lead to High Achievers

Longspee Academy is a 46 PAN- pupil school which currently has 42 students. Longspee Primary joined Ambitions Academy Trust in 2013 and educates Boys and Girls aged between 5 and 12 in Key Stages 1-3. Longspee Academy provides a personalised education tailored to meet the needs of its pupils.

At Longspee Academy we aim to address the underlying issues that are the barriers to learning, enabling pupils to develop core skills, knowledge and understanding which support the pupils to achieve outstanding rates of progress in line with their underlying ability.

At Longspee Academy we believe in the concept of lifelong learning and the notion that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone; it should be fun (Children who are HAPPY and SAFE make PROGRESS). Through our teaching we equip children with the skills, knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives. We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help children to lead happy and rewarding lives.

At Longspee Academy we believe children learn best when:

- learning activities are well planned, ensuring progress in the short, medium and long term
- teaching and learning activities enthuse, engage and motivate children to learn, and foster their curiosity and enthusiasm for learning
- assessment informs teaching so that there is provision for support, repetition and extension of learning for each child, at each level of attainment
- the learning environment is ordered, the atmosphere is purposeful and children feel safe
- there are strong links between home and school, and the importance of parental involvement in their children’s learning is recognised, valued and developed

At Longspee Academy we have high expectations. We challenge both pupils and staff in order to achieve the highest standards. We know our pupils can find learning difficult, so we provide a high level of targeted support to ensure everyone is successful in achieving their individualised and bespoke targets and expectations.

Our pupils face many different challenges and we look to help them develop resilience towards these. Our focus
