Introduction “Leighton Park has a strong community where your opinions are listened to and valued.

This has boosted my self-confidence as I am accepted for who I am”

Leighton Park School is an independent, coeducational day and boarding school which welcomes students of all nationalities, religions and languages. Ours is a vibrant community based on the Quaker values of simplicity, truth, peace, sustainability, integrity, respect and equality, where individuality is celebrated and where all members of the community are equally valued.

Students at Leighton Park are encouraged to be inquisitive, analytical and to view education as a lifelong experience. Through creative learning experiences and committed staff, our curriculum is designed to inspire students to reach their potential academically, personally and socially.

Our focus on students as individuals is absolutely central to our educational approach. The breadth and flexibility in the curriculum recognises that students have different needs and interests and, with guidance from staff, students are given a range of opportunities to shape their education to suit their skills and ambitions.

Giles, Lower Sixth

We aim to inspire and support each student to prepare for their future by reaching their potential academically and personally.

“Leighton Park’s culture taught me many things, but important among them I learnt to be myself, treat others with respect, get involved and always enjoy what I do.”

Sebastian, Old Leightonian 3

Curriculum Leighton Park is a vibrant learning community, which embodies a culture of high performance, essential to creating a positive impact on student achievement, attainment, behaviours and progress.

Holistic curriculum

An individualised approach

The curriculum is academically rigorous, combining analytical and creative approaches, and strives to achieve greater coherence by:

Small average class sizes of sixteen students, or seven in the Sixth Form, enables our subjectspecialist teachers to tailor lessons so that students don’t just understand their learning but really enjoy it. Our approach supports students to develop their intellectual curiosity whilst becoming independent, lifelong learners with the skills to make a positive contribution in a rapidly changing world. Our Individual Learning Centre provides further support to help students optimise their approaches to learning should they need it.

• Making connections between academic subjects • Using a problem-based approach to explore real-world challenges • Contextualising and extending learning through day trips and field work • Working with industry and higher education partners • Integrating the school’s strong pastoral and cocurricular programme into the school day.

This VLE integrates seamlessly with the Active Touch interactive screens in each classroom.

All students follow a two year GCSE course comprising of nine or ten subjects selected from 30 options. These are made up of core subjects, which all students must study, and optional subjects, from which six should be selected, including one reserve.

Years 10 and 11

Pre-Sixth Course The Pre-Sixth course is an intensive one year academic programme designed for international students. This course will appeal to academically ambitious 15 and 16 year olds who are already confident in their written and spoken English and would relish the challenge of studying abroad.

Students sit a minimum of five GCSEs, including English, Mathematics, another Language (French, Spanish, Latin), a Humanities subject (History or Geography) and Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics). We anticipate that the students will achieve the academic grades to enable them to progress into our Sixth Form.

“The school has been very supportive and has helped tremendously with the important decisions related to my next step after leaving school, making me feel very confident about the future.�

Sixth Form The Leighton Park Sixth Form experience is structured around a two year course. Students are able to choose between A Levels or the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma. The course is enriched with various opportunities for developing interests and skills outside the classroom. These opportunities include, but are not limited to: Cambridge Technicals Level 3 Sports, which can be taken in place of one A Level; Rockschool Graded Music Exams and Silver and Gold Duke of Edinburgh Awards.

Most GCSE students continue on to Sixth Form at Leighton Park through our transition programme, which has been developed to support students in their selection of courses and subjects and to introduce the study skills that will be required to excel in these years.

This includes a Sixth Form Open Evening, a Sixth Form Academic Induction programme, detailed consultation with staff, and a taste of the social programme, an important feature of life in the Sixth Form.

For A Level, students study three to four subjects, as well as preparing for the Extended Project, which can lead to an additional qualification with associated UCAS points.

The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme offers an internationally accepted alternative to A Levels. It is an academic programme that allows students to study six subjects, three at standard and three at higher level. Additionally, it includes the core subjects; Theory of Knowledge, Creativity, Activity, Service and an Extended Essay.

Upper Sixth student

Both the IB Diploma and A Levels are challenging programmes but the effort is highly rewarding. The progress of every student is monitored on a regular basis against national baseline tests (Alis) and targets are set and regularly reviewed to support their success.

Please visit our website for the latest course updates for IB and A Level. www.leightonpark.com/SixthForm 6

Day Students The School Day

Prep

Boarding Leighton Park is more than just a school: it is a community that offers young people an exceptional and enriching preparation for life. The five Houses form the heart of the community for both day and boarding students.

Students can make friends of all ages, from all over the country and the world, developing well balanced friendships. Students can mix socially in the shared areas of the Houses, experiencing a residential environment, which helps with their transition to university life.

Those living away from home need a comfortable and secure environment where they can study, but also grow as individuals. Each of the Houses quickly becomes a home to those who live there – whether full, weekly and flexi boarders or day students who stay for the occasional night.

Each House is managed by a Housemaster or Housemistress who, supported by the House assistants and Tutors, together take on the responsibility for ensuring that each child is supported both in their academic and social development.

Sixth Formers usually have single study bedrooms and younger students typically share a room with one to three others. Students are encouraged to make their bedrooms as homely as possible.

Each House is unique, with its own character and all members of the House, from the youngest to the eldest, are fully involved in the life of the House, which is exemplified in the keenly anticipated inter-House competitions. Each House has their own library, study area, games and television rooms and kitchenettes where students can prepare snacks.

“What I like about the teachers is that they are always ready to help you; they stay after school activities to help and are around on Saturdays too.�

Alex, Year 11 8

Beyond Academic

“I like the friendly nature of the school and the way that, even though I am new, I feel as though I’ve been welcomed by the student community.”

Whether at lunchtime or after school, students are encouraged to try new things, to discover and nurture their talents and to challenge themselves to go beyond their own expectations.

Araba, Lower Sixth

All students are expected to participate in activities outside of the academic curriculum and with so many options, there really is something for everyone! Lower School students, Years 7 and 8, are encouraged to take three activities a week, and those in Year 9 and above two.

In the Sixth Form, as students prepare their applications for university, the activities they have been involved in can make a major difference to the strength of their all-important personal statement.

Boarders have an additional programme of activities at weekends. Cinema trips, ice skating, go karting and shopping are always popular and there are other regular trips, such as to theme parks, paint-balling, shows or visits to London.

Day students are welcome to join these too.

“There’s a strong bond between all of the students.

I think it’s great because no matter what year you’re in, girl or boy, you feel like you’re valued.”

Most activities are included in the fees. If there is an additional charge, for example with activities off-site or requiring specialist tuition, a form will be sent home for parents to sign to authorise payment. This will usually be in electronic format via the weekly eBulletin.

Bursaries and Scholarships Bursaries

Academic Scholarships Candidates seeking Year 7 or Year 9 entry will be selectively invited to sit the Academic Scholarship assessments based on their performance in our January entrance tests. Candidates seeking entry to the Sixth Form should complete a Scholarship Application Form.

Leighton Park Trust aims to improve accessibility to those students who would otherwise be unable to benefit from its education on financial grounds.

There are a limited number of bursaries that may be available in cases of financial hardship for existing and prospective students. Bursaries are always means tested and subject to annual review.

Application forms are required in all cases and are available from the Bursary once a registration form has been received.

Candidates sitting the academic scholarships will undertake a written examination on a maximum of two academic subjects of their choice from within the Humanities, Sciences, Mathematics, English and Modern Languages. Candidates will also be required to undertake a Scholar’s Interview.

Please email jennyrowe@leightonpark.com to request the bursary application form or for further information.

Art and Design Scholarships

All bursary applications should be received by the Bursary no later than Friday 15th November 2019 for entry in September 2020.

Candidates are expected to show an appropriate level of technical skill, but, more importantly, imagination and a commitment to the subject.

They are required to submit a portfolio of work, take a short practical exam and will be interviewed by departmental staff.

The parents of all students offered a bursary will be expected to reapply every year, and bursaries will be subject to review annually. All applicants will be informed of the decision by the 1st March preceding the September of entry.

Drama Scholarships The Drama Department encourages applications from candidates interested in all aspects of performance, including dance. The scholarships are also open to students who are keen to pursue their interest in the technical and design aspects of theatre.

Scholarships A number of scholarships are granted for entry to Year 7, Year 9 and Sixth Form on the basis of a competitive examination. These scholarships are also open to those already in the school. Once gained, a scholarship normally lasts throughout the student’s time at Leighton Park but is subject to a satisfactory review of progress each year.

Candidates will be required to perform a short audition piece of their choosing or present a portfolio of their Design/Technical work followed by an interview.

Candidates can apply for any combination of scholarships. Successful candidates may be awarded more than one but will only receive the financial benefits of one. The financial benefit will be in the region of 10% of day student fees.

Music Scholarships There is no written examination, as awards are made for practical musical accomplishments. The emphasis is on musical potential as well as prior musical achievement. Associated Board practical exams are a useful indicator but other factors will also be considered. Candidates will have an interview, audition and auditory test.

Explanatory notes Siblings A sibling is defined as a child for whom admission is sought and who already has a brother/sister or step-brother/sister living in the same family unit and in attendance at the school, at the time of his/ her entry to the school. Both children need to be in attendance at Leighton Park at the same time to qualify for sibling discount.

Please note: a sibling does not include a cousin or other relative living in the same household.

Admission of twins, triplets or other children from multiple births Where fewer places within a year group can be offered than there are children from multiple births living at a single address, the school has the discretion to treat this as an exceptional case and may admit all such children in order not to split the family.

- Half a term’s notice is required in writing to the Director of Music for withdrawal from individual music tuition.
