Longfellow’s is now home to our student’s Enterprise wares, which can be purchased or ordered from the café. Students take an idea from conception to completion learning many skills including team work, money management and resilience along the way. Our students have made numerous items including candles, Christmas tree decorations, cement candle holders, cushions, dog treats, animal bedding, the list is endless. All items are very reasonably priced and the money goes back to the classes to go towards trips and residentials.
Longfellow’s provides free Wi-Fi for customers and is a buggy friendly environment.

Students
The café offers many educational and training opportunities for the students of Fosse Way School. These have included training in becoming a barista, cake-making and customer services.
Students have participated in the delivery of local orders and buffets with support from café staff as necessary. In addition, students who are taking the BTEC Hospitality course at Fosse Way complete work experience placements in the café.
In a number of cases students’ work experience in Longfellow’s has enabled them to gain employment in the catering industry or a college placement. Your custom at Longfellow’s supports these invaluable opportunities for the students of Fosse Way School.
