A Message From The Principal


"We are very proud of our achievements at Longbenton Community College. Our students achieve high standards both in and out of the classroom, and are a credit to the college and their parents. Their hard work in the classroom consistently results in high grades in public examinations, which enables some to embark on university courses across the region and beyond, and others to take on high quality training and employment in a range of spheres.
 
Outside the classroom, the students take part in a wide range of activities. Many represent the college on the sports field and some gain further honours playing at higher and even national levels. Our music and drama productions are highly acclaimed with audiences regularly sitting in awe at the talent of our young people. Students also contribute positively to the community, through charity fund raising and other aspects of community service.
 
Most important of all, our students are well prepared to take their place in the global, technological community of the twenty-first century, becoming responsible citizens with a real concern for the welfare of others.
 
All this is possible through the dedication of the staff who are prepared to do whatever they can to help our young people achieve the very best. As one young man said publicly to a group of parents, 'The staff can’t do enough for you at Longbenton.'
 
We are  very much a community college, as we endeavour to serve our local community, whether it be through adult classes, or our young people going out into the community to work with others.
 
Do explore the pages of our website to find out more about us".
