Committed to providing a challenging Curriculum for all our students
At Longdean School, we believe that all students are entitled to an education that will enable them to develop their full potential, be that intellectual, physical, creative, emotional, spiritual or social. All students have individual needs,
which put personalised learning at the heart of our teaching and learning.
Longdean School is committed to providing a challenging curriculum for all of its students. In addition we will provide opportunities to identify and in turn nurture those who are more able.
The Longdean High Performance policy is therefore fully integral to our School Vision Statement as follows:
‘I am proud of who I am and what I have achieved today’
High Performance children are those who have one or more abilities developed (or have the potential to develop these abilities) to a level significantly ahead of their year group
Successfully identify the High Performance cohort
Ensure that Longdean offers a wide range of opportunities and a high level of challenge to all
Help High Performance students to develop their skills and achievement to the highest possible levels
Support and enhance the teaching and learning that takes place in the classrooms and away from School
Create and promote an ethos that values high achievement across the school
• Extension activities to stretch and challenge students in lessons.
• Enrichment activities to develop High Performance students in their exceptional area, e.g. Summer schools, Villiers Park, Social Mobility Foundation, Sutton Trust programmes and Summer Schools, Cambridge shadowing scheme,
Oxford Pathways, Internships, HPQ for Year 10 students, International competitions.
