On behalf of the school community, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our website. I am proud and privileged to be the Headteacher of this exciting, dynamic and well-respected school. Long Furlong is a one-form entry primary school with a nursery.
The school opened in 1993 and continues to be a place where learning and a sense of family and community are as important as they were 32 years ago. Our children are at the heart of everything we do. We provide a safe, nurturing and purposeful learning environment for our children to flourish and move on to their next step in education.
We strive to develop a culture that values inclusion and diversity so that everyone connected to our school feels proud of their heritage and identity and can participate fully in school life.
Our vision is to be a true community school which provides a nurturing environment and a well-rounded education where every child is valued, inspired, and supported to reach their potential. Our vision is supported by our five core values that we thread through all aspects of school life.
