For example, ‘hungry for charcuterie’, the first in a series of indulgent food boxes by adm, includes seeded flat-bread handmade in London, beechwood smoked cheddar cheese from North Wales, a sticky fig and port chutney produced in York, and a selection of antipasti sourced directly from a family-run olive grove in southern Italy. The ‘Hungry’ range pushes back against the over-saturated market of cookie- cutter food hampers and focuses on food for the soul.

At Laleham Lea we firmly believe in putting the child at the centre of everything we do. From the warm welcome as you walk through the door in the morning to the playground where all ages play, run and socialise together as one happy family.

Bright, light filled classrooms and enthusiastic, experienced teachers engage young minds’ thirst for knowledge, helping each developing individual to reach their full potential and ultimately move on to the school of their choice.

Our pupils become happy, confident, fulfilled young people through both academic and extra-curricular activities. Every child takes part in team sports and every child is involved in school productions and concerts. Our greatest pleasure is to watch a once shy child blossom into the confident soloist, take a leading role in school assembly or simply help a fellow pupil through a challenging moment.
