What attributes do good schools have, and more importantly, which one is best for your child?
The good news is that it's not really a science; in my opinion, when you locate the appropriate school for your child, you will just know that's where you want them to be.
Being the headteacher of Langley School is a tremendous honour and privilege for me.
The core values of our school are centred on encouraging, pushing, and supporting the entire Langley community to be our best selves.
What is the key to our success, then?
Our youth truly serve as our best marketing tool.
They are content, polite, diligent, respectful, and well-liked.
We were told by Ofsted that their behaviour was "exemplary," and they were correct.
Although there is a wealth of information about our school on this website, I strongly urge you to come and see Langley in person. I can assure you that you will receive a warm welcome and candid answers to all of your concerns.
Young students learn in good schools; exceptional schools inspire and educate them.
We sincerely hope you share our opinion that Langley is a top university.
