Langdale is a happy, caring and successful school with a nurturing ethos as its cornerstone.  We value the strong partnerships built between our families, the community and fellow professionals, all working to ensure our children feel happy, secure, respected and valued in their own right.    We strive to ensure each child reaches their full potential – developing in confidence, skill and achievement.

For those of you planning your child’s future education, we hope this website gives you a taste of our wonderful school and the information you require.  You are, of course, very welcome to visit school too.
