The school community is multi-cultural with great diversity of ethnic origin and many different languages spoken by the registered pupils.

About Langford Primary School

Located at the heart of a vibrant community in Fulham, Langford Primary is a 1.5 form entry, co-educational primary school with 200 pupils currently on roll.

Deemed by Ofsted as ‘Requiring Improvement’ in June 2014, Langford is undergoing a period of transition and is well-placed for rapid improvement: the school is already starting to benefit from the support, resources and investment available from being part of United Learning which it formally joins in September 2015. Supported by United Learning’s Education Director, Education Partners and a dedicated team of Business Partners, it's anticipated that the school will be recognised as at least ‘Good’ at its next full inspection.

Langford will offer a high-quality education with breadth and depth in a happy, healthy and secure environment that supports children to learn and develop as individuals.

Housed in a classic red-brick Victorian building with large classrooms, three halls, and an onsite multi-use games area,  the school also offers exceptional capacity for future expansion.

Langford will improve and is likely to grow: if you want to be in at the start of this exciting upwards journey, it's a great time to join the school. We fully recommend candidates make an informal visit to Langford to see first-hand its potential to become a thriving and highly successful school.
