The Langley Academy is a state school in Langley, Berkshire, United Kingdom. It opened in September 2008, replacing the former Langleywood Secondary School.

History

Langleywood Secondary School was created in 1982 on the site of the former Langley Secondary Modern School following a merger with the former Holmewood Secondary Modern School. As of 2005 Langleywood had about 800 pupils. From 2003 to 2005, Langleywood was in Ofsted 'special measures', but this period was successfully completed in November 2005.

In July 2004, Slough Borough Council, the local education authority, agreed to support the establishment of an academy on the Langleywood site. [http://www.slough.gov.uk/documents/langleyacademy.pdf Langley Academy - Joint Consultation Accessed 21 September 2008] ]

Langleywood closed and was replaced by the academy on September 2008. New buildings have been constructed and the school is sponsored by the Arbib Foundation.
