Aims/Mission Statement

'TRADITIONAL VALUES & INSPIRATIONAL TEACHING'

Long Close offers a liberal education which produces civilised human beings with knowledge of the arts and of culture. The education we offer provides the thread of knowledge and wisdom that connects a person to his or her place in society, humanity and the universe.

This education provides our pupils with the skills, information and training to take up a productive pursuit within the world of work whereby they contribute a service and receive in return a reward.

At Long Close we invest in our pupils with robust structures that inculcate traditional values of: respect, hard work, good manners, inner strength, politeness, compassion, generosity, love, fair-mindedness, a sense of justice, adherence to truth and self-discipline.

We provide inspirational teaching in small classes; with enthusiastic and well qualified teachers who inspire through commitment and example. From the traditional values and inspirational teaching character is built, individual potential developed and academic excellence achieved.

This has further enhanced the special atmosphere of Long Close and produce pupils who take the happy capital invested in them here out into the wider world and succeed!
