Longfield Academy

Post by MJMoore »

We're trying to keep our options open, and looking at the various schools available in our area. One such option is Longfield Academy, which specialises in arts and science.. which I think would suit my daughter.

It was only opened a year ago, so there aren't ofsted reports etc to look at, so I wondered if anyone had any experience of the school, or had heard anything?

Also, I understand that there is a coach service form Dartford.. it's a long shot, but I wondered if anyone had experience of this.. where it goes from, how long the journey is etc.

Many thanks! :)

could be wrong, but wasn't this axton chase, a failing school?

I believe it might be, but according to their website, their results greatly improved last year, after becoming an academy.

As I said, we're looking into all options - if she fails, the grammars are gone; Leigh is very oversubscribed, and also has class sizes of 60; and DTC does not have a very good ofsted report.
