Longfield Academy is part of the Leigh Academies Trust. The Trust also includes several other secondary Academies - The Leigh Academy, Stationers Crown Woods Academy, Mascalls and Wilmington Academy, a special needs school - Milestone Academy, and several primary Academies. All of the Academies share one governing body, and are led by a Chief Executive Officer based at the Trust offices.
As with all other Leigh Trust secondary Academies, Longfield is structured to embrace the ‘small schools' model of learning. The college structure seeks to foster the strong links that exist within a small community. Excellent communication between the Colleges and home is a central part of this process.
The Academy is led by Principal, Dr Felix Donkor. A Head of College leads each college of approximately 380 students from Years 7-13 together with a team of dedicated staff. All students are organised within a vertical tutoring system where students learn from and support each other to achieve the very best outcomes.
