What our staff say about why they love Long Lane Primary School
MRS JENNINGS – OFFICE MANAGER
"Long Lane is more than just a workplace — it’s a community where everyone feels valued. I’ve never worked in a school where the Headteacher is so actively involved in every aspect of school life. That level of care and connection makes Long Lane truly unique and a wonderful place to belong. I feel proud every day to be part of a team that puts children at the heart of everything we do."
MRS MOWBRAY – TEACHER
"I feel trusted, valued and supported to teach; staff are not micro-managed. Just as we have high expectations of our children, we do of ourselves and are allowed to achieve this in ways that work for us and the children."
MISS COLEMAN – HLTA
"Even though I’m new to Long Lane, it already feels like I’ve been part of the team for years. Everyone is so welcoming and supportive, and it’s easy to feel at home here. The friendly, collaborative atmosphere makes it a wonderful place to work."
MR HUNT – TEACHER
"We all have a voice and have input into the development of the school. The children’s social and emotional development is our first priority. I love that being able to offer all children opportunities to access high quality PE, school sport and physical activity is a school priority. Staff know they have each other’s backs and will support each other. Not too much pressure from SLT and support where needed. Always someone to go to if issues within class which is essential when dealing with behaviour and pastoral care. We are trusted to deliver a curriculum that suits the needs of our children."
MRS COTTER – TEACHER
"We work with a wonderful team – supportive and friendly."
MISS GARDINER – TEACHER
"It's about being part of a team in which everyone is heard, considered and valued. We put the children at the centre of everything we do but know that we are important too - if we've had a tough day, there's always someone who will listen and support. Ultimately, I like the people I work with and the ethos of the school and that makes all the difference."
MRS TURNER – TEACHER
"Being part of Long Lane is something really special. There’s such a warm ethos and sense of belonging that makes it feel like home. Everyone looks out for each other, and that team spirit shines through in everything we do – especially in how we care for and support the children. Families feel truly involved, and it’s all made possible by the way we work together so seamlessly. It’s a place full of heart, and I feel so lucky to be part of it."
