⭐ Class of 2025: Where Are They Heading? ⭐
Amazing results yesterday for Thaman Shyna Prasoon! He’s now heading to QE to study Physics, Maths, and Geography.
During his time at Longfield, Thaman was a key member of our school’s rock band 🎸 — performing as lead guitarist and developing his skills as a keyboardist too. Whether it was Longfield Live, Open Evenings, or assemblies, Thaman brought energy and passion to every performance. 🎶
We’re so proud of everything he’s achieved!
🗣️ "The support and opportunities given at Longfield go way beyond the classroom – it’s a great place to be!"
Best of luck at QE, Thaman — keep shining bright! ⭐

Fab young man. In my form. Always kind. Always lovely x
✨ Outstanding Achievement Alert! ✨
Matilda achieved outstanding results in her GCSEs, including four 9s in English Language, English Literature, History, and Photography.
She’s now heading to the The Northern School of Art to continue her creative journey.
Matilda really loved the chance to express herself through photography – it gave her the freedom to be creative and showcase her unique vision in her portfolio. Her consistent dedication and high-quality work have paid off, not just in the Arts but also in her core subjects.
She’s especially grateful for the support from her photography teacher, whose guidance helped her reach these fantastic achievements.
Well done, Matilda – we can’t wait to see what you create next! 🌟
