Academic Performance
The 2009 Ofsted inspection notes that the school "provides a good quality of education for its students", and goes on to say that "achievement is good because the targets the school sets are appropriately demanding and students make good progress during their time at the school, and very high standards." It did however state that The Langton needed to "give students more opportunities to play an active role in more lessons."
The CERN Courier described the school as "one of the most active in implementing innovative ways of teaching science in the UK".

Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or performance:
“I was so grateful to be independent of the academic establishment. I thought, how awful it would be to have my future hinge on such people and such decisions.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
“The child to be concerned about is the one who is actively unhappy, [in school].... In the long run, a child’s emotional development has a far greater impact on his life than his school performance or the curriculum’s richness, so it is wise to do everything possible to change a situation in which a child is suffering excessively.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
