Langley Football Academy

Join the elite.

Langley Football Academy offers the very best of both worlds. By combining footballing excellence with outstanding academic opportunity, we deliver for our students both on and off the pitch.

Open to boys and girls aged 10-18 years, being part of the LFA means training with former professionals and receiving expert football and strength and conditioning coaching along with post-game analysis, all while following a rigorous academic programme.

We warmly welcome international students to Langley. We have a dedicated EAL (English as an Additional Language) Department, staffed by highly qualified teachers including one teacher from mainland China. Our support is offered in a friendly and inclusive environment, designed to help our pupils access the curriculum as quickly and effectively as possible. For the older students we offer individualised IELTS courses in preparation for university entrance.

- First-class coaching from UEFA A and B Licensed coaches.
- Periodised training programmes – incorporating all of the four elements embedded in the Football Association (FA) Four Corner model: technical and tactical, physical, psychological and social.
- Personalised strength and conditioning training.
- Regular feedback on performance in training and games.
- Use of our Teqball table on-site.
- Opportunities to play in the Independent Schools Football Association (ISFA), English Schools Football Association (ESFA) and County Cup competitions, alongside friendly fixtures. Players will also be placed at local clubs outside school time.
In the classroom, pupils follow a tailored, rigorous academic programme, which enables them to progress on to Higher Education and careers in sport. In addition to GCSEs, A Levels and Level 3 BTECs, students have the opportunity to complete work experience both in the UK and abroad.
