I would like to welcome internet visitors to our Q3 Langley page. We hope the material is helpful to you, whatever your interest in our academy may be. I am incredibly honoured to have been appointed the first Head of School at Q3 Langley and along with my dedicated and committed team of staff we will ensure that all students feel safe and excited as they embark on their secondary education with us starting initially in September 2016. With around 650 students now enrolled, we are now in our third year of operation. Our transitional curriculum guarantees that every student realises their potential and immediately feels at home in secondary school. We have outstanding teachers and utilising the knowledge and skills from our experience at Q3 Great Barr, we are able to deliver an outstanding learning experience. Our innovative timetable including the bespoke Horizon and Innov8 curriculum, Family Lunch and Breakfast, Company system and our Thursday afternoon enrichment offer is unique and sets us apart from other schools both locally and nationally. This means that I am extremely confident that students, parents and carers who choose Q3 Langley will feel they have made the right decision from the very start and be excited to join the Q3 family on this exciting journey together as we see the academy grow to full capacity of approximately 1600 students.
