The Langley Academy
About The Langley Academy
The Langley Academy is a state secondary school in Slough that is significantly oversubscribed, with 1,155 pupils on roll against a capacity of 650, suggesting strong local demand. While the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage, its popularity is evident in the numbers. The headteacher is Alison Lusuardi, and the school is mixed, non-religious, and includes a sixth form and boarding provision. Ofsted rates it as Good overall, a rating that carries weight given that only five of the 16 comparable schools in Slough are rated Outstanding. The nearest Outstanding school is Langley Grammar School, just 0.6 km away, so families in the area have a choice between selective and non-selective options. The Langley Academy’s facilities are notably broad for a state school, including a swimming pool, theatre, chapel, and tennis courts, which may appeal to parents looking for a well-resourced environment without the fees of an independent school.
