Our vision: To promote a love of learning for all children, within a caring and supportive community
Three biblical texts embody our vision:
The Boy in the Temple: We want our children to be inquisitive and curious, engaged in their learning and asking questions.
Feeding the 5,000: We encourage children to be compassionate, making the choice to care about others.
Corinthians, 12: 12-27, ‘One Body, Many Parts’: Every child is equally important to both our school and the wider community.
Our vision is lived through our five core values, which underpin life at Longford and ensure that our children are prepared to enter into the adult world. Children are placed at the centre of everything we do.
