Welcome to Cardinal Langley RC High School. Our community places great emphasis
on our inclusive ‘family’ atmosphere in which all are nurtured to develop their
‘God given talents’. We have an outstanding pastoral care system, which is
supported by a team of highly dedicated and specialized Learning Mentors and
Teaching Assistants who work closely with parents and carers to develop
personalized support for those with additional needs. Cardinal Langley RC High
School is a Voluntary Aided 11-18 mixed comprehensive serving the Catholic
community of Middleton. The school has an excellent reputation in the local
community for its academic excellence and student development which is based
around Catholic values. The school was founded in 1959 under the direction of
the De La Salle Brothers and the Diocese of Salford and is named after Thomas
Langley, Bishop of Durham, and later Cardinal. The Trusteeship is now held by
the Diocese alone. Rooted in Christ, and in the tradition of St Jean Baptiste De
La Salle, Cardinal Langley is a school community where the Catholic faith is
taught, lived and celebrated. As a Catholic all ability school we place great
emphasis on our inclusive ‘family’ atmosphere in which all are nurtured to
develop their ‘God given talents’. We have an outstanding pastoral care system,
which is supported by a team of highly dedicated and specialized Learning

Langley we seek to educate the whole person and provide excellent opportunities

the Sixth Form. The completion of the £14 million BSF project in 2012 has
provided the outstanding facilities that our students deserve to help them
achieve their potential. We are honoured to have been serving the Catholic
community of Middleton since 1959 and are proud of the achievements of some of
our past students which include Paul Scholes (Manchester United), Keri-Anne
