Testimonials from Pupils

What do our Pupils think of their School?

With an active School Council and annual surveys of pupil attitudes, we always listen to the 'pupil voice'. These testimonials reflect the thoughts of some of our recent Year 6 leavers.

"I have been at The Langley Manor School since I was 3 so when I started at my new school in Year 7 I was scared because I was the only person in my year group who didn't know anyone else there. But.. I settled in immediately and made lots of new friends because I had been so happy at The Langley Manor School and had gained so much confidence there.

I am not very academic but my favourite subject is history. I really enjoyed the lessons and love learning about the past. I took so much of The Langley Manor School with me when I left and loved my time here so much I wanted to leave something of me at the school so I chose a new history award. I hope that whoever gets it loves the school and history as much as I did!"

William, a 2008 Year 6 Leaver who donated the Orford History Prize for future young historians at Langley Manor.

"I have immensely enjoyed school this year and I have appreciated the many events and activities I have taken part in, including Carroty Wood, the French Trip, the Arsenal Football Tournament and representing the county and region in competitive swimming. I have loved the football, rugby and cricket matches where I have met and mixed with other new people from different schools. By having these experiences I have become more confident in my abilities which I feel will help me in my next school."

"This year has dramatically increased my independence, by having a post of responsibility, playing in sport against other schools and generally being relied upon to do tasks in school. It is a great feeling. We visited Cadbury's World, Milestones Museum and Carroty Wood and France still to come – endless delight! I have achieved a lot in sport, getting into matches for rugby, football, netball and cricket. It is also superb that we have moved on to KS3 Maths! All these attributes will help me in secondary school but I will miss this place!"

Joseph, a 2009 Year 6 Leaver 

"This year has been outstanding. I have achieved well in Maths and swimming and I have enjoyed my post of responsibility. Carroty Wood was so much fun and I will miss going there. I won a prize for my role as Ratty in Wind in the Willows, the school play. I also won a second prize for all round sports. I loved taking part in the CfBT Choir Festival in Dulwich. I have loved being Sports Captain and will miss all my friends. Langley Manor has given me courage in all my main subjects and I will miss all of this!"

Georgina, a 2009 Year 6 Leaver

"I have thoroughly enjoyed this year and I have increased in independence by being chosen to take part in sports matches, being a  librarian and by being chairman of the School Council. I am delighted with achieving two awards and passing the 11+ this year. Although I love The Langley Manor School, I can't wait to move on to Langley Grammar School!"
