About Longsight Community Primary

Longsight Community Primary is a state-funded mixed primary school in the Manchester local authority, educating 209 pupils aged 4 to 11. It sits in a competitive local landscape: among the 137 primary schools in Manchester, it ranks 47th, placing it just above the midpoint. For context, the top-performing peers in the authority include Didsbury CofE Primary School, Brookburn Community School, and Rack House Primary School. The school is led by headteacher Rukhsana Ahmed and has no religious character. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in November 2024, confirmed that standards are maintained, and the school retains its Good rating for overall effectiveness, leadership and management, and early years provision — all graded Good in the previous graded inspection back in 2015. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is Cringle Brook Primary School, 1.3 km away.
