Langley Grammar School 11 plus is one many families look at when they want a selective, mixed grammar in Slough with a strong sixth form and a practical commute. The school is in Langley, in Berkshire, and the day to day travel time matters more than most parents expect once Year 7 starts.
Most families feel calmer once two things are clear early. The first is that entry is through the Slough Consortium of Grammar Schools, so the 11 plus route is shared and predictable in structure. The second is that eligibility and offers are not the same thing. A child can meet the eligibility standard and still miss out if the school is oversubscribed and priority rules apply.
It helps to keep the whole process on one page, especially when you are balancing open evenings, registration, and the Common Application Form. This grammar school application UK timeline keeps the steps simple.

Registration is completed online through the consortium process. Keep a simple folder with your child’s details, confirmation of registration, and any access arrangement evidence that might be needed.
The consortium uses two papers covering English, maths, verbal reasoning, and non verbal reasoning. The aim is to reward clear thinking under timed conditions, not unusual tricks.
The published eligibility score remains 111. Hitting 111 means your child is eligible for grammar school consideration within the Slough Consortium, but it does not guarantee a place at Langley Grammar School.
Test results do not replace the Common Application Form. You still apply through your home local authority, which is especially important if you live outside Slough.
Offers come through the national coordinated process. If Langley is oversubscribed, the school applies its published oversubscription criteria. Waiting lists can move later, particularly if families relocate or choose a different school.

For September 2027 entry, Langley’s admissions arrangements use priority areas based on postcode, then rank eligible applicants by test score within each category. Distance is used as a tie break when scores are equal.
Postcodes SL3 6 to SL3 9 and SL0 0 to SL0 9. A maximum of 120 places are allocated to this area.
Postcodes SL1 0, SL1 1, SL2 1, SL2 2, SL2 3, SL2 4, SL2 5, SL2 9, SL4 1, SL4 2.
Postcodes SL1 2, SL1 3, SL1 4, SL1 5, SL1 6, SL1 7, SL1 8, SL2 0, SL2 6, SL2 7, SL2 8, SL4 3, SL4 4, SL4 5, SL4 6, SL4 7.
Residence evidence must be continuous from the stated start date. Families outside priority areas should plan realistically, as most places are expected to be allocated within them.
For Year 7 entry, selection is exam led through the consortium process. No interview stage forms part of the standard admissions route. Preparation is best focused on mixed question types, steady pacing, and careful answer checking.
This Year 5 revision plan helps keep the week realistic.

It is the shared Slough Consortium entrance exam used for Year 7 entry, with two papers covering English, maths, verbal reasoning, and non verbal reasoning.
No. Families can apply from different areas, but offers depend on meeting the eligibility score and then fitting the oversubscription rules, including priority areas and distance tie breaks.
Late registration is not treated the same as on time registration. The safest approach is to treat the published window as fixed and complete it early, especially if access arrangements might be needed.
The published eligibility score is 111 on a standardised scale. Eligibility is not the same as a guaranteed offer at Langley.
No. If there are more eligible applicants than places, the school applies its oversubscription criteria and ranks by score within each category.
The published admission number for September 2027 entry is 180.
They are postcode groups used to prioritise offers. Priority Area 1 is closest and has a capped number of offers. Priority Areas 2 and 3 follow, then other eligible applicants if places remain.
Â
 Distance is used as a tie break when two eligible applicants have the same score within the same oversubscription step.
 No interview stage is set out for the standard Year 7 admissions route. The published route is exam led.
The consortium process is designed for in person testing. Plan travel early if family commitments often fall in early autumn.
Yes. The test is separate from the Common Application Form. A school can only be considered for an offer if it is named on your local authority application.
The published arrangements advise families outside the priority areas to be realistic, because places are expected to be allocated from within those areas, with only occasional movement beyond.
The published arrangements describe a waiting list that operates until 31 December 2027, after which in year admissions arrangements apply.
Joining the waiting list is normal. Appeals are also available, but an appeal is not a second exam and usually depends on strong evidence and a clear case.
The latest published inspection outcome on Ofsted is Outstanding overall, including sixth form provision.
