Langley Senior School & Sixth Form

Langley employs a holistic, neuroscience-informed approach to education that balances academic ambition with individual support. The school aims to help children grow in confidence, curiosity, and character, encouraging them to discover their own strengths rather than fitting a predetermined mould. The educational journey is designed to move from exploration in the early years to active engagement and, ultimately, academic and personal excellence.

The school offers a continuous educational pathway from Bluebell Nursery (ages 6 months–4 years) through Pre-Prep (ages 4–7), Prep (ages 7–13), Senior (ages 10–16), and Sixth Form (ages 16–18). The curriculum includes core subjects such as English, Maths, Science, French, Computing, and the Arts, with specialized pathways in the Sixth Form including A Levels, BTEC, and professional qualifications. The Langley Football Academy provides specialized coaching and competitive fixtures for pupils from Year 3 through to the Sixth Form.

By the end of their time in the Sixth Form, students are prepared to be independent, compassionate, and world-ready young adults. The school provides comprehensive careers and support services to assist students with their future destinations. Academic pathways include GCSEs, A Levels, BTEC, and professional qualifications, alongside the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ).

The school provides dedicated support for pupils, including English as an Additional Language (EAL) tuition and 1:1 learning support. Pastoral care is integrated into the daily routine, with boarding staff, Heads of Year, and prefects available to support student integration and well-being. The school also maintains a focus on neuroscience-informed teaching to balance academic ambition with individual support.

Langley is a non-selective, co-educational day and boarding school for pupils aged 6 months to 18 years. Prospective families are encouraged to book a private tour or attend an Open Day to experience the school, with separate admissions processes for the Prep School in Taverham and the Senior School and Sixth Form in Loddon. A refundable deposit is required upon acceptance of a place, and the school offers scholarships, bursaries, and fee reductions for military families and siblings.

The school operates across three terms: Michaelmas, Lent, and Trinity. The academic year typically begins in early September and concludes in early July, with half-term breaks in October, February, and May/June. Bluebell Nursery operates on a year-round basis, closing for staff training days and public holidays.

Langley operates across two 100-acre campuses in Norfolk. The Taverham site houses the Bluebell Nursery, Pre-Prep, and Prep School, featuring ancient woodland and an Outdoor Learning Centre. The Loddon site hosts the Senior School and Sixth Form, offering boarding houses, a sports hall, a fully equipped gym, floodlit Astroturf pitches, ICT suites, and a library. Boarding facilities include single, twin, and triple rooms, a café-style games room, and dedicated kitchen areas.

Pupils have access to over 80 enrichment options, including photography, design technology, outdoor education, Combined Cadet Force (CCF), and leadership opportunities. The activities programme includes chess, robotics, cookery, and various sports, with dedicated coordinators managing evening and weekend activities for boarders. Additionally, the school offers holiday clubs and swimming sessions during the summer.
