Our Aims and Values
At Longton Primary, alongside our link school Barden Primary, we are committed to fostering an environment where our aims and values are deeply embedded in our pupils' character. We strive to ensure that all children are equipped to lead fulfilling and happy lives, grounded in the fundamental British values.
In caring about excellence and each other, and in promoting enjoyment and happiness through fulfilment, the members of the Longton Primary community believe in:

showing care, consideration, loyalty and compassion through generosity of spirit
showing respect for one another by appreciating each person’s individuality
showing respect for the School’s aims and rules, facilities and fabric
showing respect for self, through integrity, dignity and pride.
GROW through choice, opportunity and imagination
trying anything and being open to challenges
approaching academic work with motivation, industry, and a love of learning
playing a full part in the life of the School, making the most of opportunities
being independent in thought, and offering leadership
showing courage and perseverance in taking risks and meeting the unknown.
SHINE through challenge, achievement and celebration
understanding a sense of commitment in service of the community
showing a sense of belonging to a shared vision, through support, teamwork and flexibility
fostering independence and self-discipline in teaching and learning
showing openness and integrity which enable honesty, sensitivity and trust
giving time to one another to meet expectations, standards, values and acknowledge achievement.
In collaboration with Barden Primary, we aim to instil these principles in our pupils, guiding them towards becoming mindful and responsible individuals who embody our shared values while thriving within the framework of fundamental British values.
