We are seeking to appoint a hardworking and reliable Site Assistant who will work as part of a highly effective and supportive team to ensure good maintenance across our school site. The successful candidate will enjoy practical challenges, playing an active role in securing the site and supportive effective health and safety policies and procedures.

At Langley, we prioritise positive relationships between staff and students. We are incredibly proud of the way our staff and young people work collaboratively to fulfil our school motto ‘to be the best we can be’. Langley is a wonderful place to work and learn. We are a committed, compassionate community united in our mission to being fully inclusive, celebrating diversity and promoting equality in all that we do. Every learner matters and matters equally at Langley.

We are so proud to be Great Place to Work Certified™. It has been an excellent tool to help us to understand more about what we are doing well to make Langley a great place to work as well as understanding more about what else we can do to create a positive community for everyone. In September 2025, we were proud to be recognised as ‘Best Place to Work’ in Education and Training thanks to the positive feedback from our staff.

In our Ofsted Inspection Report from March 2023, inspectors described Langley as ‘an inclusive, welcoming school’ where ‘pupils behave well in lessons’ and there is a ‘calm and purposeful atmosphere around the school’.

Our school’s fundamental principles focus on supporting, challenging and inspiring the whole Langley community ‘to be the best that we can be’. But these are not simply words on paper. Students, staff and governors genuinely give all they can, to bring those principles to life every day. Examinations are critically important, of course, and our students achieve superbly well in them, but we truly believe in developing young people to deal with the tests of their lifetime, not merely to endure a lifetime of tests. Everyone who visits us comments on the unique ethos of our school as well as our commitment to inclusivity.
