About Langley Primary School

Langley Primary School in Sandwell is a state primary for boys and girls aged 3 to 11, currently home to 439 pupils against a capacity of 460. That near-full roll makes sense given the demand: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 84 applications for 58 places, with 53 of those coming as first preferences. The oversubscription ratio sits at 1.45, a clear signal that local families are keen to secure a spot. The school’s intake also reflects a notably high level of disadvantage — 43.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average for primary schools, which typically sits around 23-24%. That context matters when reading the school’s outcomes, because Langley is achieving strong results while serving a community with significant additional needs. The school is non-denominational and has a nursery on site, offering continuity for families from the earliest years through to Year 6.
