Longtown Primary School is smaller than the average-sized primary school. Children in the early years receive part-time education in the Nursery and full-time education in the Reception class. The majority of children are of White British heritage. A very few children are from minority ethnic backgrounds or speak English as an additional language. The proportion of pupils with disability and those with special educational needs is below average. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for the pupil premium is broadly average. The pupil premium is additional government funding given to schools for disadvantaged pupils who qualify for free school meals or for children who are looked after by the local authority. The school meets the government floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for attainment and progress in English and mathematics. The school shares the site with a Children’s Centre which is inspected separately and its report is available on the Ofsted website. The town library shares the same site as the school.
