About The Telford Langley School

The Telford Langley School’s headline Progress 8 score of -1.04 places it well below the local authority average of -0.26 for secondary schools in Telford and Wrekin, and it ranks 10th out of 13 schools of the same type in the area. This is a significant gap, suggesting that pupils here, on average, make considerably less academic progress between Key Stage 2 and GCSEs than their peers across the borough. The school’s Progress 8 banding is officially described as “well below average,” and it sits in the bottom 50 nationally. While the LA average itself is already negative, meaning Telford and Wrekin as a whole faces challenges, this school’s results are notably further behind. For context, the top-performing schools in the area, such as Newport Girls’ High School Academy and Haberdashers’ Adams, achieve positive Progress 8 scores above 0.4, highlighting the scale of the gap.
