Langley Grammar School

Langley Grammar School is a co-educational selective grammar school for ages 11 to 18 on Reddington Drive in Langley, Slough. It is one of the Slough grammar schools and has a large sixth form within a school of about 1,274 pupils. The school presents itself as academically ambitious but also explicitly developmental, with its public pages returning to integrity, leadership, community and resilience.

The sixth form is a useful window into Langley's educational style. The school describes an academic A-level curriculum combined with enrichment, sport, Duke of Edinburgh and the Passport for Life personal-development programme. Passport for Life covers post-18 pathways, UCAS, finance, careers, alumni talks, study skills, EPQ, MOOCs, volunteering and leadership roles. The site also lists a Sixth Form Centre with teaching rooms, social space and independent study facilities, plus a 250-seat lecture theatre used for public events and talks.

Lower down the school, Langley keeps personal development prominent alongside selective academics. The co-curricular and leadership routes include sports captains, school leaders, senior prefects, anti-bullying peer mentors, subject fellows, volunteering with local primary schools, mentoring, drama, mathematics, languages and debating. That range gives the school a fairly outward-looking character, especially for families considering a seven-year Slough grammar route.

Year 7 admission is through the Slough Consortium 11+ and the published admission number is 180. A standardised score of 111 or above makes a child eligible for consideration; it does not itself allocate a place. Langley's oversubscription rules then apply, including looked-after priority, Priority Area 1, Priority Area 2 with Pupil Premium, children of staff, Priority Area 2 and other eligible applicants. The official performance record lists an Outstanding Ofsted judgement from November 2021, +0.75 Progress 8, 100% grade 5+ in English and maths, and 54.1% AAB or better at A level.
