How catchment works at Langley Grammar School

Langley Grammar School draws its intake using a designated catchment or distance priority around Slough. To be considered your child first needs to pass Slough Consortium 11+, which makes them eligible but does not guarantee a place.

After scoring 111+, places go by looked-after, Priority Area 1 (up to 100), Area 2 pupil-premium, staff, Area 2, Area 3, then outside areas, each ranked by score. The qualifying distance shifts every year with demand, so a postcode that was inside the catchment one year can fall outside it the next.

Bottom line: for Langley Grammar School, both things matter, your child must pass the 11+, and you generally need to live close enough to clear that year's distance cut-off.

No. Langley Grammar School is a selective grammar with a catchment or distance priority, so both a qualifying mark and your home address affect whether you get a place.
How is the catchment for Langley Grammar School measured?+
After scoring 111+, places go by looked-after, Priority Area 1 (up to 100), Area 2 pupil-premium, staff, Area 2, Area 3, then outside areas, each ranked by score. Distances are normally measured in a straight line from your home to the school, and the cut-off moves each year with demand.

Can we apply to Langley Grammar School from outside the area?+
Yes, you can always apply. In quieter years out-of-area children are offered places, but in-catchment families take priority, so it is less predictable.
Does passing the 11+ guarantee a place at Langley Grammar School?+
No. Passing qualifies your child, the place then depends on the admissions priorities, most often home-to-school distance.
When do we register for the Slough Consortium 11+?+
