About Langdon Academy

Langdon Academy is a large all-through state school in Newham, serving pupils from age 3 to 16. With 2,064 pupils on roll against a capacity of 2,430, it is not yet full, but demand for places is strong. For the 2025/26 secondary intake, the school received 725 applications for 295 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.46. Just 162 first-preference offers were made, meaning competition for a spot is significant. The school’s intake reflects a highly diverse community, with 50.5% of pupils eligible for free school meals — well above the national average and a clear indicator of the socioeconomic context the school serves. Headteacher Jamie Brooks leads a mixed, non-religious school that also includes a nursery provision, making it a genuine all-through option for families in the borough.
