Curriculum 

The Academy encourages independence and a love of learning. Our unique Museum Learning approach underpins a very wide range of activities, trips, and visitors, bringing our broad and ambitious curriculum to life. Through partnerships with local and international museums, students engage in projects like Science Museum co-curation and medical programmes encouraging critical thinking and creativity. 

Collaborations with organisations like the Thames Valley Learning Partnership and National Careers Service Adviza provide diverse opportunities, from competitions to sports, music, and career-focused initiatives. Exceptional facilities, subsidised music lessons, and support programs like the Nurture Group and Hearing Resource Base ensure all students thrive, inspiring academic success and personal growth.

The Arbib Education Trust

We aim to provide an exceptional education through collaboration, high expectations and learning which prompts curiosity, exploration, and discovery. We want our work in “the Arbib way” to be characterised by a determination to discover ways of succeeding. We work as a single community of schools sharing many ideas and investing in the future of every child and student in partnership with their families.

What we can offer you….

The health and wellbeing of our staff is of utmost importance to us. We recognise that all of our colleagues have a life outside our school community. To support this, as part of our wider wellness programme we offer a wide range of benefits. Here are a few of the many things we offer:

Flexible working – a bespoke ‘Extra Flex’ scheme offers flexibility on when and where you work, as well as part time and job share options.
Trustee day – a term time day to attend events you wouldn’t ordinarily be able to attend. For example, one of our teachers who is fanatical about tennis went to Wimbledon and others have had the opportunity to celebrate their birthdays at Glastonbury, Henley Regatta and Alton Towers.
Short Fridays - to allow you to start your weekend early.
Private Healthcare Scheme, cycle to work scheme, free use of The Langley Academy gym and hire of the sports hall at a discounted rate to help support a healthy lifestyle.

The benefits don’t end there though. Click here: www.arbibeducationtrust.org/benefits to see the full range of amazing benefits we offer. 

Our Location

“As soon as they walk through the door of the Langley Academy they see the aeroplane, they see the dinosaur and they say ‘Wow!’ and that’s exactly how I felt when I came for my interview, is ‘Wow, what a place to work’ and I haven’t lost that yet and I hope I never do.”  Teacher
