About Langley Park School for Boys

Langley Park School for Boys sits comfortably above the Bromley local authority average for Progress 8, scoring 0.4 compared with the LA average of 0.13. That puts the school fourth out of 21 secondary schools in the borough, placing it in the top 25 per cent nationally. The gap is meaningful: a Progress 8 score of 0.4 means pupils here achieve nearly half a grade more per subject than students with similar starting points across England. The school’s Attainment 8 score of 56 reinforces this picture, and 83.3 per cent of pupils achieved a grade 4 or above in English and maths. The school is heavily oversubscribed — 908 applications for 198 places in 2025/26, with 306 first-preference applications — which suggests local families recognise the strong academic offer.
