Structure
[edit | edit source]Longfield Academy is part of Leigh Academies Trust. The Trust also includes 22 other academies. All of the Academies share one governing body, and are led by a chief executive officer based at the Trust offices.
Electronic learning
[edit | edit source]The academy aimed to provide students with new ways to learn and reach their potential. The academy offered an iPad scheme for use in their everyday education.[2]
While there's no official announcement that the "iPad scheme " had been cancelled , the consistent focus on Chromebooks suggests the iPads have been phased out or replaced as the primary device for students.
Despite previously being paid, The academy provides students with Free Chromebooks in their first year (Year 7)[3]
