The Telford Langley School in short

The Telford Langley School is a mixed secondary for ages eleven to sixteen in Dawley, open under the Community Academies Trust. The headteacher's welcome puts reading, pastoral care and enrichment at the centre, with open evenings for parents. Our review finds a school with a clear message about what it values.

We hold no public customer reviews for The Telford Langley School. The latest inspection grade of Requires Improvement counts against it, and that is the latest word on the public record. The school calendar of return dates, trips and open events at least shows an active site.

Insurance and charges go unstated on the site. Our verdict leaves the school outside the top ten — the reading-led message is appealing, but the grade needs to move before the ranking can.

Our verdict

Our judgement: The Telford Langley School suits families wanting a Dawley secondary that puts reading and pastoral care at the centre of its message [1]. The July 2024 Requires Improvement grade counts against it, and that is the latest word on the public record [2]. Insurance and charges are unstated on the site [1].
