How far offers reached

Each bar shows how far from Langley Grammar School the last child offered a place lived, under the last admission rule the offers reached. Up to five years, on one scale.

Qualifying is not the same as being offered a place.

A score of 111 or more in the Slough Consortium 11+ (GL Assessment) means your child can be considered. If more children qualify than there are places, the school gives places using its admission rules, in order. The figures below show how far those rules reached in past years. They are history, not a prediction: they change every year with who applies.

General information, not legal advice.

If Langley refuses your child a place, you can appeal to an independent panel; the consortium guide says each school's appeals are heard separately. For 2027 entry the deadline given by Slough Borough Council is Friday 26 March 2027Slough 2027 entry: Appeal deadlineChecked 9 Oct 2026 against Slough Borough Council.The source says: 26 March 2027 | Deadline for submitting an appeal for a Year 7 placeView the official source, and the consortium warns that it could be mid-June before an appeal outcome is knownSlough: Outcome timingChecked 9 Oct 2026 against Slough Consortium of Grammar Schools.The source says: You should note that if you do appeal, it could be mid-June before you know whether or not your appeal has been successfulView the official source. The 11+ score itself cannot be appealed.

Because Langley's waiting list follows the same order as its criteria, a child's priority area and score still count while waiting. Have a school you are happy with as a fallback. More on the process: Slough reviews and appeals.
