About the school

The school opened in 1956 in a building constructed to an experimental reinforced concrete design. A rebuilding project of about £18 million was completed in 2021.
New facilities include a design technology workshop and graphics rooms; a textiles/art textiles room; a 3D-art room with a kiln; computing/ICT rooms; a main hall with retractable seating; a dance studio; a music room and practice rooms; a dining room; a library; and a sixth form study space.
Extracurricular activities include sports, music and drama and range from the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme to chess.
Since 2017 Langley has been an Apple Distinguished School in recognition of its use of technology to aid learning.
As one of the Teaching School Hubs for Berkshire, Langley Grammar is a centre for teacher training and development across about 350 schools in the local area.
