United in Diversity, Inspired for Life: Longthorpe Primary Academy is a wonderful, multi-cultural school with a passion for creating independent, conscientious and successful learners who will thrive in their future both in the world of work and as a positive member of society. Our learners will contribute to improving the world at differing levels developing into empathic, global citizens, who collaborate effectively through strong communication skills that will enable them to share and deepen their understanding around real world issues, with the hope of making it a better place. Our children will be effective learners; articulate, literate and numerate.   They will be confident, independent thinkers who have a good sense of self-worth and belief in their own capacity to succeed.  They will take risks with their learning so the fear of failure does not limit their learning capacity. Children at Longthorpe will develop a strong sense of responsibility for their own learning, holding high aspirations of themselves, their achievements and futures.   They will be effective collaborators with a good range of communication and leadership skills, giving them the ability to clearly articulate their ideas and emotions, as well as consider those of others. We aim to provide all children with a safe, happy and nurturing learning environment, and we foster a strong home school partnership.

As a member of our Academy Committee, you will serve as a volunteer to provide support and challenge to the Headteacher in ensuring high quality education provision for all learners, focusing on the four key areas of standards, safeguarding, special educational needs and stakeholders as delegated by the Keys Academies Trust board of trustees.
