Description
Longmoor Community Primary School is State Primary School for kids aged 3 to 11 (Gender - Mixed )
Every child in our school is challenged to achieve their full potential as engaged, articulate and independent learners. They have high expectations of them which they respond to with excellent behaviour and attitudes to learning. The dedicated and caring staff work extremely hard to deliver an engaging, innovative curriculum which deepens pupils’ skills, knowledge and understanding. Of no less importance is the personal growth of the children – they want them to be strong in body, mind and spirit. They have high expectations in the core subjects of English, Mathematics and Science, with excellent outcomes. They know that communication is a key life skill, so developing our pupils’ speech and language skills is a thread running through the whole school from rapid diagnosis & addressing of language issues in Early Years to debating and public-speaking in Key Stage 2. They are also an Oracy hub school for the VoiceLiverpool programme.

The Longmoor Curriculum
It is the school’s intent to have a strong, knowledge-rich curriculum in place, implemented successfully by teaching staff. We have: High levels of accountability, knowing what is implemented and learned; Clear methods to check what pupils know, can do and understand; Strong teacher subject knowledge across the school and its individual phases; Senior leaders who check implementation, ensure that all groups of pupils can access the curriculum, and who understand the component strands of the English national curriculum. The IMD (Index of Multiple Deprivation) ranks Longmoor at position 3981 with a decile of 2 (2019 data), and having considered income, employment, health, crime, and environmental deprivations, our school is located in the lowest 12% of areas in the UK. Research conducted by Hart & Risley (1995) showed that children from low-income family backgrounds had on average been exposed to 30 million less words by the age of 4 than those from high-income homes. It is our mission and purpose to reverse that trend by creating a curriculum that is rooted in and promotes a love of reading; this forms a crucial part of the curriculum intent.
