Year 6 Transition Guide 2023

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.
