Welcome to Langtree School
I am hugely fortunate to lead a school of over 600 fantastic young people, with a dedicated and enthusiastic staff team, supportive parents and highly effective governors. We are located in the lovely village of Woodcote in South Oxfordshire, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Our Vision Statement is:
Putting Learning First
When a student arrives at Langtree School, they will be welcomed by a community which prioritises learning, celebrates achievement and nurtures the individual.
Staff and students are challenged to be the very best they can be; everyone at Langtree School is expected to embrace the core values of Courtesy, Respect and Integrity. We strive to build excellent links with all members of our community. We believe that creative thinking and wider collaboration will deliver the best opportunities for learning.
When a student leaves Langtree School they are prepared and empowered to face the challenges and opportunities of learning, working and living that lie ahead of them.

Blue skies and sunshine made for a great morning for the spring Love Our Langtree last Saturday.
We gave a warm welcome to some new year 7 families, as well as the LOL regulars too.
With a 20 strong workforce, we were able plant 3 beautiful flowering cherries on the edge of the playing fields. We hope that in a few years, these will create some welcome shade for the students in the summer term.
In addition parents and students worked really hard weeding, edging, clearing leaves and litter picking.
Everyone worked with so much energy and enthusiasm, really making the most of the morning.
Thanks to Mr Bamford for ensuring there was as ever, the best tasting LOL tea, coffee, cakes and biscuits!
Love our Langtree has now been running for over 3 years and the difference around the school is really noticeable.
Do take a look at the spring bulbs coming up at the front of the school!
If you’d like to get involved, or have any plants you’d like to donate, please contact Jules Woodall - [email protected]

For instance: four debates for our teams at the Cambridge schools competition today. Very proud to announce three of our teams won their debates, with topics ranging from extroversion vs introversion and religion to superheroes and education. Four debates in a day are tough, but it’s wonderful to see the way our students support one another and grow their resilience and skills so exponentially in just one day!

It`s been a busy debate season!
Over half term, our students had a brilliant day at the ICYD Oxford Regional, hosted by the Oxford and Cambridge Unions. They had the opportunity to debate at the Oxford Union, one of the most famous debate chambers in the world.
A fantastic experience and we are so proud of them.
