Headteacher's Welcome
I am delighted to be the new Headteacher of this fantastic school and it is my pleasure to welcome you to our website. At Langstone Primary School, the team and I are committed to providing an excellent and exciting education for our children, embracing changes and challenges, whilst maintaining and sustaining our high expectations and high standards in terms of teaching, learning and, crucially, of well-being for all. We are passionate about providing the best education and improving the life chances for every child in our care, within a positive and inclusive, nurturing and caring learning environment.
Our project based learning is fun, innovative and creative, and allows children to be actively involved in the planning and evaluating of the learning process. Assessment for Learning strategies are consistently and effectively employed, and our embedded ‘chilli challenge’ approach ensures that children know how to achieve and how to improve, whilst being effectively supported, scaffolded and challenged.
We are very proud of our recent Estyn report, published in December 2023, which highlights that “Pupils are happy and feel a strong sense of pride and belonging to their ‘Langstone family’ and to Wales,” and that “Parents are highly appreciative of the outstanding care and quality of education their children receive.”
If you wish to find out more about our Langstone family then I would be very happy to meet you, give you a tour or to discuss any queries.
Kind regards,
Mrs Jude Russell
About Us
Langstone is a school of 347 pupils that reside in Langstone and the surrounding villages. It opened in 1954 with 157 pupils and even though numbers have increased dramatically since then, in many ways the school still has the feel of a ‘country school’ and enjoys its rural setting. Langstone is a very caring school where staff and governors are committed to doing the very best for the pupils in their care. We see ourselves as a team: staff, governors, parents, friends and of course pupils. Pupil well-being, confidence and positive self-esteem are constantly promoted and developed. Very importantly, Langstone is a school that understands that 'Learning promotes success' and takes place in many ways.
