Overview
Overview
Langley's senior community at Loddon grows from a foundation dated to 1949, while the wider Langley family includes nursery, pre-prep and prep sites at Taverham. The senior school and Sixth Form share a campus, and boarding is available weekly, flexi or full-time. The established age range is 11 to 18, giving the senior route a clear span from entry to Sixth Form.
Small classes support a curriculum covering English, mathematics, science, history, geography, languages, computing, drama, music, fine art, design and technology, food and nutrition, philosophy and theology, PE and personal development. Fashion and Textiles is a newer option. Sixth Form adds A Levels, BTECs, professional qualifications and EPQ, while more than 80 enrichment choices include coding, debating, Model United Nations, CCF, DofE and the Langley Lightning F24 project.
The admissions sequence includes enquiry, visit, registration, a reference where applicable, taster day, interview and assessment depending on age. Senior scholarships are available at 11+, 13+ and Sixth Form, alongside means-tested bursaries and the fully funded Anthony Arthur Coward Sixth Form Scholarship. Boarding includes round-the-clock care, catering, laundry, kitchens, games and social rooms across 110 acres.
