About Langley Grammar School

Langley Grammar School’s Progress 8 score of 0.75 is more than double the Slough local authority average of 0.32, placing it firmly among the highest-performing secondaries in the area. That gap isn’t small — it means the average pupil here achieves nearly three-quarters of a grade more per subject than pupils across similar schools in the borough. The school ranks 5th out of 16 state secondaries in Slough, and sits in the top 10% nationally. Its Attainment 8 score of 76.7 is also notably high, and every single pupil entered the EBacc suite of subjects in 2023/24, with 65.2% achieving a strong pass in English and maths. For context, the school is one of only five Outstanding-rated secondaries in Slough, and its nearest Outstanding neighbour, St Bernard’s Catholic Grammar School, is just 1.7 km away — so competition for top grammar places in this corner of Berkshire is clearly fierce.
