Vision & Values
Our overarching goal is to build a school culture with meaning, purpose and belonging.
The school we are building together is based on our 'KIDMAP’ values of kindness, integrity, determination, manners, ambition and positivity. Longbenton is a caring school and we know our students well. We have a warm/strict approach and focus heavily on ambitious, high standards of behaviour. Routines are a key element: this leads to a calm, positive atmosphere and climate. This is a school where the chances of all children are championed and where your background is no barrier to success.
