Long Marton Community Primary School 

Children are at the centre of our educational philosophy - all our policies are developed for their ultimate benefit, and not ours. The result is an effective learning environment in which your child will wholesomely flourish.

As a small village school, we have a family atmosphere where all our children are known to us as individuals. This allows for close monitoring, support and guidance and will ensure effective development, both academically and socially, throughout your child's early and most formative years. For example, your child will have a work portfolio which is continually monitored and assessed by his or her teacher; and at key stage 2 will also have "targets" in which, in consultation with his or her teacher, termly tar-gets for social and/or academic improvements are set.

We believe learning should be fun and that your child should want to come to school. We will aim to ensure that he or she will take pride in their work and will develop their confidence to ask questions and strive for further information to complete their knowledge.
