For 60 years Longcroft has been a thriving, innovative and friendly community-facing school and sixth form, that now also enjoys the status of a Performing Arts College. This specialism was achieved in 2001 (re-accredited in 2006 and 2009) and brought with it the funds to increase class-room space, develop a fully working theatre in the school hall and extend links to the wider community and feeder primary schools. In more recent years Longcroft was successful in acquiring funding, with East Riding of Yorkshire Council, to build a new sports hall and state-of-the-art all-weather pitch. The facilities available at the school are used by many community groups and organisations during evenings, at weekends and during school holidays

The PTFA is a registered charity and organises a variety of events during the year, to advance the education of pupils in the school, by funding facilities and equipment not normally met by the Local Education Authority.
