About us
We are The Place to Grow for our entire school community.
This is our entire reason for being: what we do and how we do it is driven by our commitment to our vision. Long Crendon School is a place where children can grow personally, academically, socially, emotionally and in so many other ways.
We are a happy school; staff and children enjoy being here, which is how we get the best from everyone. Our school community is incredibly supportive and engaged. Because children love to be here, behaviour is good. We have three simple rules - Be Ready, Be Respectful, Be Safe - and this means everyone - staff and children - know what is expected of them. For staff, we are proactive in addressing workload and wellbeing, and as part of this we use marking in the moment to significantly reduce marking workload.
The Long Crendon Curriculum has been designed by our team alongside experts to enable children to develop skills and nurture a real love of learning. We deliver this through a metacognitive approach supported by principles of retrieval practice.
For staff, we support professional development to ensure that you too can grow at our school. We support staff in undertaking NPQs and further study.
In November 2024, Long Crendon School was assessed by Ofsted who recognised how great our school is, grading the school as:
Quality of Education - Good
Leadership and Management - Outstanding
Behaviour and Attitudes - Good
Personal Development - Outstanding
Quality of Education in the Early Years Foundation Stage - Outstanding
We are looking for an excellent classroom practitioner who has a clear understanding of the National Curriculum and is able to motivate and inspire children to achieve their full potential.
