School Games Gold Mark - 2023/2024

We are delighted to have been awarded the 2023-2024 Gold School Games Mark award again for our commitment to ensuring engagement in PE, School Sport and Physical Activity. We are continuing to develop and succeed with regards to high-quality PE, clubs, intra-house competitions, inter-school competitions, inclusion, active learning, young leaders etc.

Our last Book Bingo Challenge was so popular and has really sparked a 'Love of Reading' throughout the school from the youngest children to the eldest, for those who were previously reluctant to read and for those who find it a challenge, as well as avid readers.  This has really given everyone in school a boost and, by popular demand, we bring you a new Summer Book Bingo Challenge.  Please help to ignite the 'reading spark' for your child by helping them with this challenge. Please send us your lovely photos (using the office email) of children reading in different places so that we can add them to our display.

 

Long Lane Spring Reading Bingo Grid.pdf

As you know, as a school, we are focusing on the promotion of reading this year.  Reading is a skill that is essential for accessing all parts of the curriculum and good reading skills will open so many doors for children now and in the future.  All children can make progress from their starting points and develop a 'Love of Reading', and an enjoyment of books, even if this is a challenge for them.  

We would like to introduce the Reading Bingo challenge linked above. We would like all children to enjoy this spring reading challenge at their own level and pace.  Children have until the end of the Easter holidays to complete as many of the challenges as they can.  Of course, these can be adapted to suit their age and level of reading to ensure that all children can join in. For example, adults can share books with children to enable them to access books they may not yet be able to read independently.   

Thank You for Sponsoring our School Crossing

All the parents, staff and pupils would like to thank Willmott’s and Sansome & George for their continued sponsorship of our School Crossing Patrol at Long Lane Primary School.

Both companies have sponsored our School Crossing Patrol since 2019.

The school crossing patrol funding was cut in 2018 as part of West Berkshire’s decision to cease its funding for six patrollers in the district.

Scott Willmott said:

"I am a parent with a child at the school, my family cross the busy road every day and I can't imagine what it would be like without Mr Darling helping them. As a family business, we are proud to be sponsoring Long Lane's lollipop man."

Paul Bampton, Managing director of Sansome and George, was keen to support the school as well.

“At Sansome & George we take immense pride in supporting the local community especially Long Lane School. We are pleased to have helped maintain the safety for the children and their parents travelling to and from the school.”

 

 

 

Welcome to Long Lane Primary School

I am proud to be able to nurture and lead over 200 amazing children whose enthusiasm, diligence and fun permeates through the school.  Long Lane Primary is a Community School, built in 1966 and maintained by West Berkshire Council. This is a very popular school. Children at the school vary from 4 to 11 years old.

Our school vision states that at the end of their time at Long Lane Primary School, all our children will take with them a love of learning. We are committed to this and I hope that you will feel that you too share the same vision.

Having the right staff in school is important and we are fortunate to have a group of both talented and dedicated staff who place the welfare of the children in their care as a top priority. Active support and co-operation from parents, pupils and the governing body is another key characteristic of the school.

We set out several open days in the Autumn Term when I am pleased to show you the school, with or without your children. These are always with other interested parents. Although we can also accommodate keen parents at any time of the year should you be moving into the area. Please contact the School Office for the dates and times for these tours. We try to keep the numbers small so that you have an opportunity to ask any questions you may have. 

I am confident that when you visit us you will feel the strong sense of community that so many of our guests comment upon. Our school motto is 'Strive to Succeed' and by working in partnership with you, we really can bring out the best in your children both socially, emotionally and academically. There really is no substitute for coming to see our school when the children are in it! After all, they are the reason we are here.

 Headteacher: Mrs. T. Allison B.Ed.(Hons), NA SENDCO, NPQH

Year 5/6 House Tag Rugby Competition - 18/10/24

A lovely afternoon on the field saw Year 5 and 6 compete in a house tag rugby competition. Two competitions going on at the same time with lots of great teamwork and individual skills. Both Unicorn teams won all their matches but Phoenix played some of the best team rugby. It was also brilliant to see so many children being confident enough to referee and score.
