School profile

Simon Langton Girls' Grammar School

The school is a selective girls' secondary school with a mixed sixth form.

During their seven years at the school, students embark upon their personal Langton Journey. Together they develop a shared set of values and learning behaviours: qualities expected from all. We call these the Langton Values. Ambitious. Confident. Independent. Creative. Four words encapsulating our mission that all students are ambitious in their dreams and thinking; confident in themselves and their abilities; independent in their mind and actions; creative in their problem-solving and imagination.

Working at the school means working with high-achieving students who aspire to success. We have many years' experience supporting trainees as they enter the profession.
