Headteacher's Welcome
Welcome to Fred Longworth High School. I am proud and privileged to be the Headteacher of such a dynamic and forward-thinking school. Our aim is simple – to inspire all our students to achieve their best through “belonging, engaging and succeeding together”.
We ensure our students experience a truly great education; as a result, they flourish academically, shine personally and are prepared for a happy and successful adult life.
Not only do our team of highly dedicated staff work hard to ensure students achieve great academic standards, they are also fully committed to providing educational and extra-curricular experiences that support our students’ personal and social development. Each student is treated as a unique and valued individual and their talents and abilities are nurtured both within and outside the classroom.
We place an emphasis on high standards, a strong commitment to building good working relationships between staff and students and the excellent support we receive from parents. We constantly seek ways to foster a real sense of community spirit for students, parents and staff and our students thrive within this supportive environment.
I hope that our website gives you a flavour of what Fred Longworth High School has to offer. If you are a prospective parent, you are welcome to visit us to find out more about our wonderful school and how we achieve our success.

Dear Parent
Welcome to Fred Longworth High School. I hope that you have an enjoyable evening and that you have the chance to chat to some of our students about what life is like at our school.
Many of you will be anxious about the choice that you make over the next few weeks. Fortunately, there are several good schools within our local area and, whilst we believe that we are the best, the final decision will be about the choosing the school that best suits your child.
Past experience suggests that many of your questions tonight will be about admissions. There are always parents who are worried about whether their child will or will not be successful in gaining a place here and that, if they choose Fred Longworth as first choice and are not successful in their application because we are over-subscribed, they will damage their chances of being accepted at their second choice school.
I must stress that this is absolutely not the case. Admissions are strictly controlled by the Local Authority and success depends entirely on how far a child meets the over-subscription criteria for each school. A school must not consider whether the parent has placed it as first, second or third choice if a child meets its over-subscription criteria. My advice is that if you want your child to come to Fred Longworth, you should indicate that we are your first choice, as the Local Authority try to place children in their first choice school if possible. If your application is unsuccessful, you will not be disadvantaged at your second and third choice schools. For reference, the admissions criteria is attached.
Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any further questions. In the meantime, enjoy the evening and I hope that this is the start of a long and successful partnership between you and Fred Longworth High School.
Yours sincerely
Mr P Davies
Headteacher

Places may become available at the school after the offer date. We will:
