The Good Schools Guide Review

We are proud to share the 2025 Good Schools Guide review of Langley Senior School. The first edition of The Good Schools Guide was published in 1986, and since then the organisation has grown enormously, always staying true to the objective of providing prospective parents with an independent view of schools across the independent and maintained sector. Coverage includes international schools, online schools, and schools for children with SEND.

Schools cannot choose to be included in the Guide. Selection is invitation-only, making the review process entirely independent and all the more rewarding. The commitment that schools make to the Good Schools Guide in return is that reports must be published in their original form, without any editing.

We are delighted with the contents of the report, as it captures what is special about Langley; our lack of pretension, our ambition for pupils, rooted in a deep understanding of their needs, and the beautiful surroundings in which pupils learn and grow.

There is huge praise for the breadth of our curriculum offering, with creative and performing arts featuring alongside a range of sports and our academic offering. Co-curricular activities are also featured in the report, with particular note being made of our Combined Cadet Force (CCF) and involvement in The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.

The summary statement captures the essence of Langley perfectly:

Please note that Langley Prep School was also reviewed in 2025. The report contained a profile of our retired Head. We plan to have the report amended to reflect the change of Head to Mrs Clare Rackham.
