About Langdon Park Community School

Langdon Park Community School’s headline Progress 8 score of -0.34 sits well below the Tower Hamlets local authority average of 0.09, placing it 14th out of 17 secondary schools in the borough. That’s a significant gap — roughly 0.43 of a grade per subject lower than the typical local school. The school’s attainment 8 score of 44 is also modest, and its EBacc average point score of 3.93 reflects a curriculum that doesn’t push as hard into the academic stretch subjects as some neighbours. On the positive side, the school is oversubscribed: for 2025/26 it received 342 applications for 173 places, with 101 first-preference offers. That suggests local families see something worth choosing, despite the below-average headline metrics. The school’s Ofsted rating of Good, confirmed in a 2023 inspection, gives a more reassuring picture than the raw exam data alone might suggest.
