Overview

Music is central to Langley Hall Arts Academy, a one-form-entry provision opened in 2022. Its stated character is academic, creative and performing-arts focused, with pupils known individually. The WAVE principle, "We're All Valued Equally", sits alongside broadly Christian values and an inclusive welcome. It is co-educational, serves ages 11 to 16 and has no boarding.

The curriculum follows the National Curriculum at Key Stages 3 and 4, with English, mathematics, science and computing as foundations. Music, modern languages, dance and drama, art and design, sport, history, geography, business studies and community projects add breadth. Every pupil studies GCSE Music at the end of Year 8, then A-Level Music in Years 9 to 11 alongside nine other GCSE subjects.

Entry combines arts potential with academic assessment. Applicants need potential to reach Grade 3 on an instrument, or exceptional dance or drama performance, as well as good numeracy and literacy results. A Year 7 bursary assessment includes English and mathematics, an interview and a musical performance. Tuition is charged termly, with separate charges for lunches, trips, books and resources.

Key points
Assessment route
Applications are made directly to the school. Check the school's own admissions pages for registration dates, entrance assessment stages, interviews, fees, scholarships and bursaries.
Places and demand
Published Year 7 place numbers and applicant-per-place data are not included in GIAS for this private-school seed profile.
Catchment
Private-school eligibility is not controlled by the local-authority grammar catchment model; check boarding, day-pupil, transport and any sibling or faith rules on the school site.
Results
Independent-school performance data is patchier in official releases, so GCSE and A-level comparisons should be checked against the school's published results.
