Langley School Shines at the Royal Norfolk Show

The sun was shining and the Langley School marquee was buzzing at the Royal Norfolk Show. We were blessed with two glorious early summer days, providing the perfect backdrop for two days of celebrating all that Langley stands for.

Our pupils, as is only fitting, were the central focus of the two days, with guests being treated to superb vocal, musical and monologue performances. Our choirs and soloists, both singers and musicians, did themselves proud as they performed music of all genres: a Disney medley, music from the West End and memorable power ballad performances.

Outside of the Langley marquee, our fantastic school rock band Lost Property was given top billing at the Showground with a prestigious performance slot.

We were delighted to host our current parents, pupils, and prospective parents, welcoming many new Langley families and introducing them to the Langley community.

One of the highlights of the Royal Norfolk Show is always our Icenian afternoon tea. Aside from the traditional tea and coffee, plentiful cold refreshments were on offer, proving very popular given the tremendous heat! Our Executive Chef had whipped up hundreds of sandwiches, sausage rolls and scones, and all were enjoyed by a record-breaking Langley crowd. It is always a thrill to see so many alumni of both Taverham Hall and Langley, and we extracted many promises of a school visit in the coming weeks and months.

As ever, our expert staff team was on hand to provide information on a number of our programmes, including the Combined Cadet Force (CCF), our Outdoor Learning facilities, the Langley Football Academy (LFA) and our outstanding Bluebell Nursery provision at both our Taverham and Loddon sites.

Our A Level photography candidates did a sterling job of recording the events of the two days. Live event photography can be a challenging genre, and they rose to the occasion.

We thoroughly enjoy welcoming so many families and alumni to the event. It is always a highlight of the academic year.
