About Langford Budville Primary School and the Moorland Federation

Langford Budville Primary School is a small, nurturing village school where inclusion is not just an aspiration but a lived reality. We are proud of our ability to successfully support pupils with a wide range of needs within a mainstream environment, ensuring they learn, belong and thrive alongside their peers.

At Langford Budville, learning extends far beyond the classroom. Our extensive outdoor curriculum, “Loving Langford,” is rooted in our local environment and community, providing rich, real-life learning experiences that foster curiosity, resilience and a strong sense of belonging. This is complemented by our embedded Thrive approach, supporting pupils’ social and emotional development alongside their academic progress. Together, these approaches enable us to nurture the whole child and ensure all learners, particularly those with additional needs, can engage, succeed and flourish.

We celebrate each child’s individuality, their creativity, curiosity and character and are committed to helping them flourish both academically and personally. “Roots to Grow and Wings to Fly”

Our Federation celebrates individuality and a strong sense of community, nurturing children to grow together, and learn for life, as confident, compassionate citizens. We value teamwork, care deeply about wellbeing, and are dedicated to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children in our care.
