Dr Ian Young, CEO of Peterborough Keys Academies Trust said: “I am delighted with the glowing Osted report for Longthorpe Primary School, one of the five academies in our trust. I extend my congratulations and thanks to our dedicated staff for their hard work. Some areas for improvement were identified in the school’s last inspection in the summer term of 2022 and it is pleasing that we have confirmation that all of those have now been fully addressed. This has been the result of strong leadership of the Headteacher, Mrs. Trethewy, since November 2022. Special thanks also go to her senior leadership team of Mr. Parkhouse, Mrs. Beeby, Mrs. Potter, and Miss Ali. We take immense pride in how our children and staff impressed the inspection team, with the school’s provision being very strongly complimented by them. As such, we are confident in the school's continuing and future success."

Longthorpe Primary School has made significant improvements since its previous inspection. ​ The school has redesigned its curriculum to ensure clear progression and defined learning outcomes for students. ​ Teachers adapt the curriculum to meet the needs of students with special education needs and/or disabilities (SEND), and effective questioning techniques are used to address any gaps in knowledge. ​ However, there is a need for a more consistent approach to developing writing skills across different subjects. ​

The school's commitment to personal development is evident through its broad range of cultural experiences, leadership opportunities, and social development clubs. ​ Peterborough Keys Academies Trust, led by CEO Ian Young and chaired by Claire Higgins, has worked closely with the school to support its improvement efforts, particularly in meeting the needs of students with SEND. ​
