Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school. Achievement is good.

Since the last inspection, senior leaders have accelerated the progress of many pupils, including those known to be eligible for free school meals, and have successfully maintained good levels of achievement overall. Most children start in the Nursery class with levels of understanding and knowledge well below those expected for their age group. Pupils leave Year 6 with standards close to those expected nationally.

This represents good progress for all groups. Teaching is good because teachers use data well to plan what pupils need to learn next. Teachers understand the needs of pupils well and provide exciting and f...un opportunities to learn.

Pupils' behaviour is outstanding both inside and outside the classroom. Pupils show excellent attitudes towards staff, one another and visitors. They say that school is a very safe place to which they enjoy coming to learn.

This is clearly reflected in the continuous improvement in their attendance. School leaders and managers form a cohesive team which has brought about much change since the last inspection, including an improvement in pupils' achievement in English. Their continued commitment to improving pupils' achievement shows their ability to make the school a better place in the future.

It is not yet an outstanding school because : Pupils do not always achieve as well in mathematics as they do in reading and writing. The quality of teaching in Year 1 is not as good as in other year groups of the school because the work planned by teachers does not always meet the needs of all pupils. Marking does not always give pupils enough guidance on how to improve their work.

Governors have not yet undertaken sufficient training to hold senior leaders to account in improving the achievement of pupils.

Information about this school

Longhill Primary School is a larger-than-average primary school. The vast majority of pupils are of White British heritage with a small number from other ethnic backgrounds.

A much greater than average proportion of pupils is eligible for the pupil premium (which provides additional funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals, those in the care of the local authority and those from service families). There is a larger than average number of pupils with special educational needs who are supported through school action. The proportion of pupils supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is also higher than the national average.

The school meets the current floor standards set by the government for pupils' attainment and progress. Since the last inspection, the on-site children's centre has ceased to be managed by the school. The school has recently received several awards and accreditations, including an updated Healthy Schools award and a Junior Rock Challenge award.
