School Description

Longford Park School provides for primary-age pupils from across the Trafford local authority who have a statement of special educational needs for social, emotional and behaviour difficulties or who are in the process of statutory assessment. A minority of pupils attend on part-time placements in partnership with other schools and with support from Longford Park’s outreach team. The outreach team currently works with 49 primary schools, on behalf of the local authority, to provide advice and guidance in managing pupils presenting with behaviour difficulties. The team also provides support to pupils who are transferring in or out of Longford Park School. The proportion of pupils who present with additional disabilities and special educational needs such as attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum conditions, speech, language and communication difficulties and other complex needs has been increasing over the last few years. About three-quarters of pupils are known to be eligible for the pupil premium, which is exceptionally high. Pupil premium is additional funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals, those in the care of the local authority and children of service families. The proportion of pupils from minority ethnic backgrounds is broadly average. Although children who are at the Early Years Foundation Stage are occasionally admitted on request of the local authority, there were no children at this stage at the time of the inspection. At any time there are only a very small minority of girls in the school. The headteacher and deputy headteacher are both new to their posts since the previous inspection. Longford Park School was awarded ‘special school of the year’ at the national Pupil Premium Awards in London in July 2013.
