Coming to our school
We would like to welcome you and your family to Long Sutton County Primary School. Our school is a very special place with pupils and their experience of learning at the heart of it. We have worked hard to create an environment where children gain the strongest possible start to their schooling and thrive and excel throughout their time with us.
Everything that we do is designed around ensuring that the pupils leave us as the very best that they can be. Our children are well-behaved and respectful with an excellent attitude to work; they realise the high expectations set for them and have high expectations of themselves and others. Pupils at Long Sutton enjoy the many additional opportunities that we provide for them such as the My Happy Mind programme, sporting opportunities, residential visits and taking on roles of responsibility.
The school has at present 420 pupils from Reception to Year Six in fourteen classrooms.
The school has a dedicated nursery class for those children whose third birthday falls between 1st September and 31st August of the academic year. It is well staffed and excellently equipped and situated with its own play area at the front of the school.
Admissions
Applications for places at Long Sutton County Primary School are made in line with Lincolnshire County Council’s admissions arrangements.
Applications for places during the academic year are dependent on there being spare places . Allocation of places is in line with Lincolnshire Council Policy meaning children with an Education, Health and Care Plan will be considered first where the school is named. We will then allocate remaining places in accordance with county policy.
For entry into reception in September, we will allocate places to parents who make an application before we consider any parent who has not made one. The school has a published admission number (PAN) of 60 and we currently hold this as a limit for the number of pupils in a year group. If there are more applications than places then the oversubscription criteria will be used to decide who should be offered a place. The oversubscription criteria are:
- Looked after children and all previously looked after children
- A brother or sister attending the school at the time of application, or who will be attending the school at the expected time of admission.
- Nearest School: measured by straight line distance
- Increasing order of straight line distance

What our Parents think of us
Friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere, lovely playground facilities.
Extra-curricular activities and effort from staff/Friends team.
My child enjoys being at the school and the community feel that it has.
The staff are amazing, in particular the new SLT team. My child is so happy in school.
After school clubs/ all stars wrap around care. My son loves it, asks to go even if he doesn’t need to.
I like how my child is pushed and his full potential is being identified.
The trips and experiences. The receptionists are absolutely lovely.
Brilliant school, my children love it.
Great support for SEN children and their parents. Friendly approachable staff. Good standard of education provided.
I always felt listened to and the school communicates well.
Although the school is big it still feels very family like which I think is great for younger kids
I honestly don’t think you could find more dedicated teachers anywhere else. Every teacher my child has had over the many years she has attended has been caring, hardworking and attentive. She has thrived at this school and in my opinion, that is down to the fantastic teachers!
Getting to know the children I feel has helped produce well-rounded, confident young people. Staff know their pupils & as a result, pupils (in my opinion) feel safe to approach staff with any worries. Problems are quickly resolved & worries are spotted because the kids are familiar to the staff so staff know if the child looks or is acting differently & can approach them to offer help.
Kindness from teachers and teaching assistants. They personally know the children which is great. The school provides many different clubs for the children to choose from.
Supportive school, nursery is fantastic.
All four of my children have been to this school, my children have all been happy & felt seen & heard here.
