[edit] History
Langley School was originally the Norwich High School for Boys which was founded in Norwich in 1910 by Jeremiah George Chapman. Just after World War II the school moved to Langley Hall at Loddon. Langley Hall is a red-brick building in the Palladian style, built in 1737 for Richard Berney, on land that originally belonged to Langley Abbey. In 1744 the estate was inherited by Sir William Beauchamp and remained in the family until the 20th century.

Langley's junior school - Langley Preparatory School - provides for children from 2 to 11 (Nursery to Year 6) and is situated at Beech Hill, Thorpe St Andrew, near Norwich.
Langley is a warm and friendly school with clear values and high aspirations for all its students. The school provides a first class, all round education in a supportive community, in which students learn to become independent, valued citizens and are able to develop their potential to the full.
The school offers a broad yet challenging curriculum with excellent teaching and learning opportunities, where the emphasis is very much on the individual student.

The school has small class sizes (about 18 in a class) with a teacher to student ratio of 1 to 8.
The school provides transport for day students covering a wide area stretching as far as Sheringham in North Norfolk, Dereham in Breckland and Southwold on the Suffolk coast in Waveney.
Former pupils of the school are known as Icenians with the actor Sir John Mills (1908-2005) being perhaps the most notable.
