Having no desire to live in Norfolk, Mills leased the hall until 1921, when he decided to divide up the estate and sell it at auction.

Rev'd Frank Glass, a schoolmaster, bought the hall with approximately 100 acres (40 ha) of grounds for £12,000 and opened a boys' preparatory school.

[6] The announcement was initially greeted with anger in some quarters[7] and the Charity Commission sent inspectors to the school in July that year, citing "regulatory concerns".

[8] Langley's prep-school site, Thorpe House, was sold to developers and the merger was concluded for the beginning of the Autumn term, 2016.

[12] There is an AstroTurf pitch and the grounds provide access to the River Wensum, on which the school has fishing rights.

Extra curricular activities include art, bushcraft, canoeing, debating, kite-making, photography and natural history.
