Longdon Park School is a warm, inclusive setting where pupils are nurtured to achieve their best. It is a place where pupils can be themselves. They say, ‘There is no discrimination here. We are all different and we are all okay.’ There are strong relationships between staff and pupils. These close connections make pupils feel safe. The school’s pastoral team is on hand if pupils have any worries. Pupils can also spend time with one of the school’s well-being dogs if they need comforting. Pupils’ needs and aspirations shape the education they receive at Longdon Park School. Every pupil’s learning pathway is highly personalised. It is right for them and their stage of learning. It takes account of what they want to do in the future. Most pupils like going to school and have positive attitudes to learning. They enjoy earning ‘sleuth points’ for working well. They like having a say on the items in the ‘sleuth shop’ and saving up for rewards. Staff help pupils to regulate their behaviour and to reflect on the consequences of their actions. The school’s personal development offer is outstanding. Staff take every opportunity to develop pupils’ character and prepare them for adulthood.
