Leighton Park’s vibrant learning community and our value-based education focuses on each individual — with impressive results
At its core, a Leighton Park education centres on the individual and the promise of choice. Our ethos informs an approach where students are able to follow their most impassioned interests, become active learners and succeed as themselves — all within our beautiful setting of 65 acres of parkland, 30 minutes from London.
The success of our academic approach is demonstrated by the latest UK Government analysis, with our Sixth Form students achieving the best academic progress in Berkshire — and the school in the top 40 in England.
An IB World School, our emphasis on creative problem-solving, critical thinking and intercultural skills ensures that every student can succeed in an ever-changing, globalised world. Central to the school’s approach, we have particular strengths in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) as well as the creative arts (music, drama, art and dance).
Combining these strengths, our students benefit from an interdisciplinary approach, fusing analytical skills from STEM with creative and interpersonal soft skills.
Particular examples include the school’s status as a Yamaha Flagship Music Education Partner, with excellent music and media teaching and facilities.
The school is also a Lead Partner for the Network of Teaching Excellence in Computer Science. Our interdisciplinary iSTEM+ programme came runner-up in the national STEM Innovation Awards, beating 354 other schools. Our ICT Facilities won the Education Business 2018 Award. Come and see our beautiful grounds and talented students for yourself.
