Langley Park School for Boys has a specialist provision for students on the autistic spectrum. This provision is fully integrated and all suitable students must have a diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum Condition (formerly Disorder) and be academically able to access the mainstream curriculum. Places are extremely limited and all applications are dealt with directly by the Local Authority. Admissions are agreed in collaboration with the school at a Placement Selection Panel administered by the Local Authority.

Langley Park School for Boys (LPSB) is an inclusive school working towards the ethos of Quality First Teaching. LPSB offers the following range of provisions to support children with communication and interaction, cognition and learning difficulties, social, mental, and emotional health problems, sensory or physical needs.

We are a school which has a great tradition of turning out confident, articulate, intelligent and adaptable young people and we aim to continue to raise standards even further in the future. Our GCSE results are excellent with 82% of the boys achieving the national benchmark of 5 or more A*-C passes including English and Maths this year. Our large co-educational Sixth Form is also exceptional and our A level pass rate is very high with almost 60% of students achieving the highest grades of A*-B. Over 75% of our Sixth Form students took up university places this summer and many of these were with prestigious Russell Group universities.

However, Langley Park School for Boys will always be about much more than just the academic, and we believe very strongly in educating the ‘whole child.

We continue to thrive and enjoy enormous success in sport with rugby, hockey, cricket, and athletics teams all reaching local and national finals in recent years.

We also have exceptional talent in the Performing Arts, and both our music and drama departments put on a wide variety of musical and theatrical performances every year, taking full advantage of our modern fully equipped theatre.

All of our students also get the opportunity to take part in numerous outdoor education activities with Borrowdale Camp in the Lake District, and the Dover Camp residential visits being an annual feature of the school calendar.

All of these wonderful opportunities are presented in a fantastic modern new building by a team of exceptionally talented and dedicated teachers and support staff, who like our students are always prepared to ‘go the extra mile.’
