About Leigh Academy Langley Park

Leigh Academy Langley Park is a state primary school in Maidstone that is clearly in demand. With 445 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is running slightly over its official number, and admission data for the 2025/26 intake confirms it is oversubscribed: 111 applications were received for 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.85. Of those, 64 families put it as their first preference, and 58 first-preference offers were made. The school serves a community with a higher-than-average proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals, at 20.7%, which is notably above the national primary average. This suggests a genuinely mixed intake, and the school's Good Ofsted rating, awarded after an ungraded inspection in April 2025 that noted significant improvement, points to a school that is holding its own with a diverse pupil body. Leadership and management were judged Outstanding in the most recent graded inspection, and early years provision was also rated Outstanding.
