About Langton Green Primary School

Langton Green Primary School sits in the Kent local authority, within the Tunbridge Wells borough, and ranks 3rd out of 31 primary schools in that area based on its Key Stage 2 results. That places it comfortably in the top 10% of its local peers. The top-performing schools in the same LA include Stelling Minnis Church of England Primary School, Leigh Academy Dartford, and Temple Ewell Church of England Primary School, but Langton Green holds its own as a strong state option for families in the South East. The school is led by headteacher Alex Cornelius and has a mixed intake of 425 pupils, slightly above its official capacity of 420. With just 4.9% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a relatively affluent catchment. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in February 2024, rated the school Good overall, a step down from the Outstanding rating it held in its previous inspection back in 2012.

Academically, Langton Green performs well above the Kent local authority average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 85% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 63%. The school also achieved strong average scaled scores of 109 in reading and 108 in maths. At the higher standard, 12% of pupils achieved the top marks across all three subjects, with 47% reaching that level in reading and 39% in maths. The Ofsted breakdown shows particular strengths in personal development and behaviour and attitudes, both rated Outstanding. Leadership and management, quality of education, and early years provision were all rated Good. The school does not have a sixth form or nursery provision, and it is not a boarding school.

The school offers a solid range of facilities including a sports hall, gymnasium, ICT suite, outdoor playground, and even a chapel. Sports on offer include netball, gymnastics, rounders, football, cross country, cricket and swimming, and there are clubs for coding, drama and chess. For families with children who have additional needs, the school lists SEND provisions covering specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech and language communication needs, and autistic spectrum disorder. The school is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 152 applications for 60 places, with 72 first-preference applications and 57 first-preference offers, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.53. This is a popular school for local families who prioritise strong academic outcomes and a well-regarded pastoral environment.
