Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys is a selective boys school of over 1000 pupils and staff, located in the outskirts of Canterbury, Kent. It holds both Foundation and Grammar school (selective) status and has 'specialist college' status in science.
Its sister school is Simon Langton Girls' Grammar School.
Students from all over East Kent typically join the school in Year 7 and can then stay on until GCSE examinations in Year 11. However, the majority of students decide to stay on into the sixth form, where a large number gain entry into universities, both in the UK and abroad. Notably, while the lower school (Years 7-11) is limited to boys, the sixth form is mixed.
It is situated on the B2068 towards the Canterbury bypass, south of the city.
