Olton school given green light for sixth form

Sarah Mason 25th May, 2026   0

AN OLTON secondary school has been given the green light to introduce a sixth form.

Langley School is celebrating after it was approved to include post-16 education from September 2027.

The Kineton Green Road will welcome pupils between 11 and 18 years old.

The courses on offer have yet to be revealed – but typically include academic focused A-Levels, hands-on BTECs, or technical T-levels alongside opportunities to retake core GCSEs such as English and Maths.

These are typically taken over two years.

Headteacher Clare Thorpe said: “We are delighted to be opening a sixth form at Langley so that we can continue to support our pupils to flourish personally and academically in their post-16 studies.




“We know that welcoming older pupils into our school will enhance the whole school atmosphere, raising our already ambitious aspirations for all pupils, as we encourage everyone to ‘be the best we can be’.”
