I just wanted to say how great, adaptive and supportive Longfield School is... You took on a young person who’d spent a year at home and are progressively supporting them beyond our expectations. A huge thank you to the school!

I just wanted to contact you to say that my mum and I attended the pantomime on the 8th December at Darlington and we were seated with your school. Your pupils were so well behaved and polite. All pupils were great and a credit to your school.

I was impressed with the open evening and wanted to pass on my positive feedback. My daughter is hoping to start in September 2024, and I can see the school is moving in the right direction. Complements to Mrs Sweeten and the staff.
