Each Friday we have our Champion assembly. One of our Langland pupils is awarded a certificate for excellent work, behaviour or something special they have done for others. The pupils are awarded Dojo points throughout the week for effort, achievement and behaviour. On a Friday photos taken from the week will be shared on Class story. Parents and guardians are very welcome to message staff via Dojo and class staff will send regular messages to keep families updated with school information and events.
All sixth form pupils have the opportunity to join the choir or learn to play an instrument such as the guitar, ukulele or melodica. Some of the Langland pupils participate in these activities.
