Welcome to Langtree School
I am hugely fortunate to lead a school of over 600 fantastic young people, with a dedicated and enthusiastic staff team, supportive parents and highly effective trustees. We are located in the lovely village of Woodcote in South Oxfordshire, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Our Vision Statement is:
Putting Learning First
When a student arrives at Langtree School, they will be welcomed by a community which prioritises learning, celebrates achievement and nurtures the individual.
Staff and students are challenged to be the very best they can be; everyone at Langtree School is expected to embrace the core values of Courtesy, Respect and Integrity. We strive to build excellent links with all members of our community. We believe that creative thinking and wider collaboration will deliver the best opportunities for learning.
When a student leaves Langtree School they are prepared and empowered to face the challenges and opportunities of learning, working and living that lie ahead of them.
