The Langley Academy Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for The Langley Academy?
The catchment area for The Langley Academy is the geographic zone Slough uses to prioritise admissions when this secondary school receives more applications than it has places.

Slough publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.

The Langley Academy has a published admission number of 900 places. 1155 pupils were enrolled in the most recent data, giving a fill rate of 128%. At 128% capacity, the school is heavily oversubscribed. Slough allocates places using ranked criteria: looked-after children first, then siblings, then catchment distance. Living within the catchment area is a strong but not guaranteed advantage, as the last distance offered shrinks each year as applications rise.
The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 22.1% of pupils at The Langley Academy are eligible for free school meals, broadly in line with the national average. This reflects a mixed catchment population across Slough.
