Longlands Primary School joined Marches Academy Trust in September 2019 following the closure of the previous academy trust. At the time of joining, Longlands Primary School was already a successful school with a good Ofsted but with development needed in the Early Years Provision.
In January 2022, Longlands Primary School took over the management of a local nursery provision which became part of the school. Working alongside the other schools in the Trust has helped to school grow from strength to strength as recognised in our recent Ofsted inspection where the school received a ‘Good’ judgment in all areas, including the Early Years.
Longlands Primary School has also benefitted from wider Trust work supporting the development of key areas such as Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging and Pupil Voice ensuring that all members of our school and wider community are represented and valued. We are also able to maintain the excellent standards of provision due to the high-quality CPD that are provided by the Trust.
