Summer School 2022

“I feel so much more confident that I know my way around the school now!” 

“I have made new friends from different schools already!”

“My favourite part has been the swimming lessons… and the pizza for lunch!” 

“I was really nervous about starting Longfield, but now I am not worried anymore!”

We were delighted to welcome 100 Year 5 and 6 pupils into Longfield on Monday 25th and Tuesday 26th July 2022 for an action packed, couple of days of new subjects, new teachers and new experiences. The aim of our Summer School was to help prepare pupils for their journey into the world of Secondary School, which was especially important this year due to the lack of face to face transition!

Pupils were provided with breakfast snacks and lunch each day in the canteen, to prepare them for how lunch times work at Longfield. We celebrated the end of each day with our daily awards, for pupils showing different elements of our ethos that day:

It was fantastic to be able to get to know the new Year 7 pupils, in light of there being no face to face transition this year. Pupils grew in confidence over the course of the week, and it was brilliant for them to find their way round, get to know some of their new teachers, develop new friendships and learn about the Longfield Way and PROUD. It has definitely had a huge impact on our pupils as they have settled exceptionally well during the first half term at Longfield- I have no doubt that this is in part due to their experiences at Summer School”
