Long Close is an independent day School and Nursery in Slough, Berkshire, offering high-quality education to boys and girls aged 2 to 16.
For the past 80 years, our school has gained a reputation for outstanding academic results, and inspection reports. Long Close School has a rich history of providing exceptional academic learning as well as excellent Pastoral care, and we pride ourselves on our focus and commitment to student individuality.
At Long Close School, we endeavour to support and promote our pupil’s development of their knowledge and understanding across all areas of learning. The 11+ curriculum is embedded from Year 1 alongside a curriculum of length and breadth, to provide pupils with a rounded education.
Our outstanding teachers give individual attention to every pupil, setting the bar higher than would be expected nationally, and instilling a strong work ethic that brings richly deserved results. As result of this, 100% of LCS pupils enter their post-16 destination of choice.
Since 2018, Long Close School has been recognised as a Model School by Ruth Miskin Training and Oxford University Press. Model Schools status is given to Long Close because we achieve outstanding results by ensuring teaching children to read is at the heart of what we do.
The prestigious Sunday Times Parent Power Guide 2023 has recognised Long Close among the best independent Prep & Senior schools in the country and has ranked us 12th within the category for ‘Top fee-paying schools with no Sixth Forms’.
At Long Close, we are large enough to provide an outstanding range of opportunities for developing well-rounded, confident, and happy young people, yet small enough for each individual to be known, valued and nurtured.
