Kings Langley School
Kings Langley, WD4 9HN · Hertfordshire · secondary school
45th of 78 secondary schools in Hertfordshire we can score, 82 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 709 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.6/10 among them, against 6.4/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 53.1 · 71 | 30% | 2.12 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.07 · 55 | 25% | 1.38 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 48.6 · 65 | 10% | 0.65 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 53.1% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 48.6, compared to the national median of 44.6.

Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.6 out of 10 among them, against 6.4 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join orienteering, origami, and circus skills clubs, participate in dance and drawing, and go on overnight trips to outdoor activity centres.
Getting in. The school has 1104 pupils in a capacity of 1143, leaving 39 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help to reach the national median in attainment? What specific steps are taken to improve progress scores for students from similar backgrounds? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions with only 39 places remaining?
