Langdon Academy is a large 4-16 school, with over 1700 students in the secondary phase, and is part of Brampton Manor Trust, along with Brampton Manor Academy (an outstanding 11-18 Academy). Ofsted’s view (May 2019) that most teaching in our secondary phase is “routinely outstanding”, indicates the standard we set out to achieve in all classrooms.

The scale of Langdon, the fact that it also has a primary phase, and its membership of Brampton

Manor Trust provide considerable opportunity for the continuing development of our staff.
