Welcome to Long Close School
When you first visit Long Close, you will immediately sense the warm, family atmosphere from the quality of the relationships between the students and staff. This wonderful, vibrant community is a fabulous place to learn and achieve and you'll find it hard to imagine a school that feels more like home.
For over eighty years, the small size of our school has made the biggest difference and with our bespoke, personalised 1:1 approach, students are happy, fulfilled, aspirational and form life-long friendships.
You'll be intrigued with our distinctive educational philosophy that is predicated on the acquisition of the essential 21st century skills and rooted in holistic excellence that educates the whole child. We place an equal importance on academia, sport and the creative and performing arts, offer a plethora of experiences inside and outside the classroom and we are so proud of our polite, articulate, well-rounded, humble and impressive young people.
Please visit us soon to experience for yourself our unique setting that our students love so much and how they become fully prepared to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.
I very much look forward to warmly welcoming you to Long Close in the near future.
