The School has two campuses, both just outside Norwich; the Pre-Prep and Prep School are in Taverham, while the Senior School and Sixth Form are in Loddon. The Prep site is also home to Bluebell Nursery at Langley School, which opens its baby room in January 2022 for six months+. In the summer of 2021, 95% of Langley pupils achieved 9-4 grades at GCSE, and 94% achieved A*-C at A-Level.

The Langley School campus in Langley Park includes ancient woodland, open parkland, a lake, old ice house, private Chapel, miniature maze, model railway and lovely gardens. Your tour guide will take you around the site, talking you through the history as well as the current uses of the school grounds, which is home to Langley Football Academy, run by former Norwich City striker Grant Holt. After the tour, you are welcome to join us in the School’s Main Hall for refreshments and continue networking.
