The school has strengthened the home-school partnership with the ClarionCall email and text communication system which was warmly welcomed by both parents and staff alike. Parents receive ‘The Messenger’, a weekly newsletter filled with school news and upcoming events. The Langley Manor Preparatory School is a wonderfully happy place that really does do more than other schools to put the children first. Year after year our parents tell us their children are confident and happy and succeed well at Langley Manor. Please do come along for a visit to see for yourself. You will be very welcome.
