Langdon Primary School continues to demonstrate effective performance following its previous inspection, with pupils feeling safe, happy, and well supported. The school's inclusion ethos fosters an environment where all pupils, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), are ambitious to reach their potential. Lesson engagement is high, and the behaviours displayed by pupils are exemplary, aligning well with the school's values of confidence, motivation, independence, and resilience. Despite these strengths, there are areas for refinement in the curriculum, particularly in ensuring that core knowledge is clearly outlined and effectively built upon, particularly in subjects like history and science.
