About Langford Primary School

Langford Primary School sits in the London borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, where it ranks 5th out of 35 primary schools on its Key Stage 2 results — comfortably inside the top 15% locally. The three highest-ranked primaries in the borough are John Betts Primary School, St Peter's Primary School, and West London Free School Primary, so Langford is in strong company. Headteacher Seamus Gibbons leads a school that has seen a dramatic turnaround since its last graded inspection. In 2014, Ofsted rated the school as Requires Improvement, but by its most recent graded inspection in 2018 it had jumped to Outstanding — a rating it has held through a subsequent ungraded inspection in November 2024, where inspectors confirmed that standards were being maintained. The school is also oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 127 applications for 60 places, with 39 of those going to first-preference families.
