Last weekend the year 10 junior boarders enjoyed a trip to Birmingham for the Christmas market. #iloveboarding #stateboarding #heißeschokolade

There was never a chance of any rugby today, but #Longford sure is stunning in winter! #stateboarding #HabsAdamsRugby

As we look forward to greeting all the boarders again, we are also excited to welcome Matt, our gap student from Australia. 👋 #stateboarding Letz Live

We’re starting to see the beginnings of spring at Longford. The boys are loving being able to stay outside for longer in the light. #iloveboarding #stateboarding

Some of our boys had a make-your-own pizza night tonight as reward for receiving zero concerns all of last term. It’s safe to say they went down well! #pizzanight #stateboarding #iloveboarding

The boarding house entrance hall is looking ready for Easter and I think the boys are too. There will be a tutor group quiz on the last night with almost certainly a sizeable amount of chocolate! #quiznight #stateboarding #iloveboarding

The junior boarders had a fantastic American Diner style tea with the senior boarders this evening. Many thanks to @chefdaz_HA and team for putting it on. #iloveboarding #stateboarding

We are very proud to have made the cut for the top 20 boarding schools in the UK. Especially as the only state school. #iloveboarding #stateboarding

Some of the boys (and the gappie) enjoyed another homemade #pizzanight to celebrate outstanding achievements last term. #iloveboarding

Last night the year 10 junior boarders had a short presentation on how to make the most of the last couple of weeks of revision before school exam week and were all given a personalised, motivational pen. #Youvegotthis #iloveboarding

The junior boarders were treated to some cooking lessons with Mr Mulhern this weekend. An excellent break from revision and a very tasty tea at the end of it. #stateboarding #lifeskills #piripiriprawns #koreanbbqchicken

As an #examweek treat, the junior boarders had a visit from an ice cream van this afternoon. It’s safe to say it went down well and the staff were pretty pleased too! #stateboarding #iloveboarding

A number of our junior boarders went to Newport Salop RUFC to watch the British Elite 7s tournament this afternoon. It was a great experience watching the highest level rugby 7s right on our doorstep. #iloveboarding

It was fascinating to meet these gentlemen and hear about what Longford was like in its first years as a boarding house. #iloveboarding #reunion

Congratulations to Mrs Smith’s tutor group who won the tutor group football competition ⚽️ #iloveboarding #teamwork

This weekend we had the pleasure of welcoming next year’s year 7 boarders for a taster weekend. They had a great time bonding and getting to know the current boys. Roll on September! #iloveboarding

We got a great view of the #AuroraBorealis last night at Longford. The boarders who were still awake were very excited! #AurorawatchUK #iloveboarding #stateboarding

What a fantastic achievement from one of our junior boarders.

Good morning from Longford. #stateboarding #iloveboarding

The boarding house is looking very Christmassy thanks to matron for decorating and Woodfield Christmas Tree Farm who kindly donated our amazing tree. #tistheseason #stateboarding
