We are delighted to have been recognised again this year for the standard and range of our music provision. Music is so important for our children's development, creativity and self-confidence; this award reflects the hard work of all of our staff in delivering an aspirational, vibrant curriculum for all of our pupils to enjoy and their commitment to ensuring a range of performance experiences throughout their time with us.

The Platinum Sports Mark, the highest national recognition for sport provision in schools, has been re-awarded to Langrish School! Well done everyone and thank you for your support.

We are delighted to announce that Langrish School, has once again achieved the School Games Platinum Mark Award, this time for the 2023-2024 academic year. This is the highest recognition in the Schools Games mark awards.

The School Games Mark is a Government-led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward and recognise school’s engagement (provision and uptake) in the School Games against a national benchmark and to celebrate keeping young people active, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success.

We are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of physical activity and school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our events possible. Confirmation of this award arriving today, our Sports Day, an occasion when every pupil in the school shone as they smiled their way through physical challenges, could not be more fitting. We are committed to using the School Games to try and engage those young people who haven’t previously been active or represented our school and to try and ensure that all our students have a positive experience and want to try out new activities beyond school too, in our community. We believe in the power of physical activity and school sport as a school and give opportunities to those young people that need it most, either as a participant, leader, official or volunteer. As part of our application, we were asked to fulfil criteria in the areas linked to the five School Games outcomes and we are pleased that the hard work of everyone at our school has been rewarded again this year.

SCARF Inflatable Classroom Visit!

The week before half term marked Children’s Mental Health Week in the UK with this year’s theme being ‘my voice matters’. Pupil voice, empowering all of our pupils to speak up and be heard, forms a fundamental part of our philosophy at Langrish. 

To mark the week this year, we were pleased to invite Caroline from SCARF into school to work with our Infant classes and Year 6. Throughout the day, the children visited the SCARF tent in the hall to take part in workshops examining their feelings, how their bodies respond to these and thinking about ways to cope. Caroline was so impressed with how well behaved, mature and eloquent our children were when discussing their feelings. Well done Langrish!

A New Friendship Bench

A big thank you to a Southsea-based company, for their donation of our new bench. The children are already enjoying the additional seating at the edge of the playground.

'Many thanks for your entry to this year’s Picture Impact Awards 2023. We’ve now had the opportunity to read through your application and we are delighted to award you with the SILVER level award.

We reached this decision as we felt that all your children, led by the school council team, have really broadened their understanding of different values, beliefs and cultures from around the world. We loved the children’s comments on how it has impacted them, and we are excited that you have decided to continue with this every year. Well done for the impact you have made; you should feel very proud!'
