Aims & Vision

At Longhill High School we aim to support and develop our students to become respectful, considerate, educated and hardworking; ready and skilled to achieve their dreams.

Our motto is Aspiration, Determination, Success and we embed this process in all we do:

ASPIRATION
We believe the first step of the journey is to inspire and motivate our students to have high aspirations and self-belief. By nurturing our students’ ambition, we are laying the foundations for a successful future.

DETERMINATION
We believe students’ determination will grow from undertaking learning which stretches and challenges as well as enabling opportunities for students to reflect upon their mistakes and become resilient learners.

SUCCESS
We believe success is measured in terms of students ‘academic effort and progress as well as their determination to make a positive contribution towards their local community and society.
