About Langley School

Langley School, a mixed state secondary in Solihull for pupils aged 11 to 16, holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, with every graded category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management — all judged Good. The single most telling academic metric is its Progress 8 score of 0.29, which means pupils here achieve nearly a third of a grade more per subject than the national average. That places Langley comfortably above the Solihull local authority average Progress 8 score of -0.12, and it ranks 6th out of 15 secondary schools in the borough. Nationally, it sits in the top 27 per cent of schools for progress, and in the West Midlands region it ranks 81st out of 371. The school’s Attainment 8 score sits at 49.2, and 69.6 per cent of pupils achieved a grade 4 or above in both English and maths.
