About Kings Langley School

Kings Langley School sits just below the Hertfordshire average for Progress 8, with a score of 0. 07 compared to the local authority average of 0. 18. That places it 45th out of 86 secondary schools in the county, which is a solidly middle-of-the-pack result. The school's Attainment 8 score of 47. 6 and its EBacc average point score of 4. 23 are both respectable, though not standout figures. What is more notable is how the school performs across different subjects: Progress 8 in English is exactly zero, meaning pupils make exactly the progress expected nationally, while in maths it dips slightly to -0. 05. The EBacc element is stronger at 0. 17, and open subjects come in at 0. 08. So the picture is one of consistency rather than exceptionalism — a school that does a decent job across the board without any single area pulling dramatically ahead or behind.
