About Langham Primary Academy
Langham Primary Academy is a primary school in Colchester, Essex, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 100 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. 43% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well below the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 20.0 percentage points compared with the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.
Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 101 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 14% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Langham Primary Academy their first choice was offered one of its 14 Reception places. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 11% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. When you visit, you might ask how the school stretches its higher-attaining pupils and supports those who need to catch up.
