What Ofsted says about Longwood, Latton Green and Abbotsweld Primary Academy:
“The head of school and executive headteacher are passionate in their drive to ensure that all pupils receive the best start they can to their education. This influences every decision they make. They ensure that staff are trained and supported extremely well in their professional development.” Ofsted 2017, Latton Green Primary Academy
“This is a good school with outstanding leadership.” Ofsted 2017, Abbotsweld Primary Academy
“The school’s work to provide care and support to enable pupils to flourish is exemplary.” Ofsted 2017, Longwood Primary Academy
“The trust invests well in the development of leaders, teachers and teaching assistants at Latton Green. Many opportunities are provided for staff to take part in training or to see outstanding practice in other schools. Leaders are keen to ‘grow their own’ teachers and have done so very effectively. They are confident and competent teachers who have quickly developed their leadership of, for example, music, phonics and Spanish across the whole school. Leaders and governors take great pride in showing the successes that staff have had in taking on wider roles within the school or trust. Staff say they are very appreciative of the opportunities that leaders offer them.” Ofsted 2017, Latton Green Primary Academy
“High aspiration pervades leadership at all levels at Abbotsweld.” Abbotsweld Primary Academy
“There is a wide range of extra-curricular activities at the beginning and end of the school day, contributing to the school’s ‘the mind, body and soul experience’.” Ofsted 2017, Longwood Primary Academy

“The school’s work to promote pupils’ personal development and welfare is outstanding.” Abbotsweld Primary Academy
“The headteacher and his deputy make a highly effective team. Together with other leaders, they have galvanised staff, pupils and parents to support the school’s rapid improvement under his leadership. For example, a parent told inspectors that, ‘The school has improved and the headteacher is fab.’ Very nearly all parents responding to Ofsted’s online questionnaire, Parent View, agree that the school is well led and managed and would recommend the school. Staff are very positive about the current leadership and management of the school.” Longwood Primary Academy
“The school’s curriculum offers pupils a wide range of interesting and exciting opportunities.” Abbotsweld Primary Academy

“The executive headteacher has made an enormous contribution to the improvements in this school in the two and a half years that she has been in post. She uses the ‘fire in her belly’ and her very high aspirations to continually and doggedly pursue excellence in every aspect of school life. The executive headteacher has a very clear vision for the future development of the school, based on a thorough understanding of what works in education and how children learn.” OFSTED 2017
