Vision and Values

Vision and Values

This year we have redefined our core values - Pride, Perseverance, Ambition and Respect - and these will guide our work going forward. Our new values will also underpin the language of leadership at every level of the school. We have begun developing The Longdean Way to define how we work together as leaders, teachers, students and parents, creating a shared culture built on clarity, collaboration and mutual respect. More details will be available her as this work develops.

Our motto, "Rejoice in thy youth," is truly lived at Longdean. Our students feel known, safe and supported, and they thrive because they are given opportunities to develop their strengths and talents.

Diversity

Longdean School is a safe place for everyone.  We celebrate diversity, we actively challenge discrimination, and we are committed to being inclusive. 

A full diversity calendar is available here and includes all religions and awareness days. 

Sustainability

At Longdean School, we have conscientious and engaged students who genuinely want to make a difference to their planet and their future. Each year we organise local sustainability and wider international projects that have a genuine impact on communities both local and further afield. We attend the annual Trust’s Climate and Sustainability Conference, which unites the young people across the trust and engages with local, regional and national leaders and experts in sustainability.

Our full Sustainability and Climate Action Plan is available here.
