Langdon Academy Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Langdon Academy?
Langdon Academy is a special school in London, Newham, and it does not use a standard catchment area. Newham allocates places through each child's Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) rather than home-to-school distance, so placement depends on assessed need rather than a geographic boundary.
Admission to Langdon Academy follows a different process from mainstream schools. Newham assesses each child's Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) to determine appropriate placement. Catchment area does not apply in the same way as mainstream admissions.
For more information on how Newham assesses EHCP placements and which schools are named, contact the council's SEND team directly. The council must publish its Local Offer explaining available provision.

The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 50.5% of pupils at Langdon Academy are eligible for free school meals, above the national average of around 24%. This reflects the school's role in a higher-deprivation area of London.
