Excellence in Care – sustaining an excellent level of pastoral care for our pupils
Care for our People – developing our team of professionals
Grow and Develop our School – increasing pupil numbers and maintaining our sustainability

Motto: Carpe Diem
The School’s motto is taken from a quotation from the Roman poet, Horace. It is generally taken to mean ‘make the most of the present time’ or ‘seize the day’. This expression forms part of the School logo along with a depiction of the entrance to the Main School building. The motto reflects a healthy sense of purpose in School as well as encouragement for all pupils and staff to work with care and passion each day.
Ethos
Longridge has a tangible school ethos that is expressed through its pupils and staff in their interactions both within and outside their school community.
Longridge is characterised by its nurturing and caring environment as well as by its holistic approach to education. Individuals develop and gain confidence throughout their experiences at school. Underpinning this is an academic approach that is suitably challenging for pupils and innovative; a curriculum that is enriching as well as inclusive, together with a learning environment that is enjoyable.
This ethos permeates the School’s aims and mission.  It is supported by the School’s values and aims.
We have an active school community where everyone plays their part in ensuring that this ethos is an enduring one.
Strategy
Our School Strategy can be summarised as:
Build on our excellent reputation for leading pastoral care;
Raise academic achievements for all pupils by providing tailored opportunities to learn and share experiences;
Grow a community of life-long learners by celebrating individual and collective successes.
