We have an excellent Church of England primary school in Longdon. It has strong links with St. James’ church. The whole school comes to church regularly and for special occasions. Of course, they will learn of other faiths and cultures, but British Christian values are taught as being important from the start.
The school is now a member of the St. Chad’s Academies Trust which is based in Lichfield and is one of about twenty within the Trust.
We are proud of our village school and always look forward to their visits. When inspected by Ofsted in 2019 it was confirmed as being a ‘good’ school with no concerns. Having recently had another regular Ofsted inspection, (July 2024) we remain positive that its status as a good school will not change, although the official report may not come out until September. The academic results continue to far exceed the national levels of achievement.
