About Longhoughton Church of England Primary School

Longhoughton Church of England Primary School is a primary school in Alnwick, Northumberland, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Church of England religious character. Around 76 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. 70% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 15.0 percentage points year on year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 32% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 110 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 10% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Longhoughton Church of England Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 7 Reception places. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 4% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally.
