I am endlessly grateful for the friends I’ve met in the past five years.”

“Being at Leighton Park School has helped me grow as a person in so many ways. At Leighton Park School everybody is accepted for who they are and gets supported in every possible way to achieve their goals. As IB allowed me such a wide range of subjects (including Theory of Knowledge), I feel prepared to take the next step and start studying medicine in September. I will always remember those two wonderful years at Leighton Park School and the awesome community who supported me in every situation.”

“Leighton Park is like no other school. The Leighton Park difference is individualism. In an ever-moving world of generic examinations and standardised testing, it is the needs of each individual student that are cherished here. What Leighton Park does exceptionally well is harness the ability of an individual to be who they are and who they can become, allowing their talents to shine throughout the School.”

“Sixth Form at Leighton Park is a truly unique experience. In the classroom, teachers push you to your academic limits and provide support to develop you beyond them, fuelling a life long passion for your subjects and helping you achieve to the best of your ability. We are encouraged to think ‘outside the box’, beyond the syllabus and research topics of interest. Not only does Leighton Park develop you academically but also as a person.”

“What I really think makes Leighton Park different is that every single student’s individual experience can be tailored for what they love and what they are interested in. Whatever you are passionate about, Leighton Park will have something for you. Everyone on the Park was so friendly and welcoming when I first joined. The same can really be said about the teachers. They are all so nice and if you ever need any help then all you have to do is ask them.”

“At Leighton Park, I was able to study the subjects I liked with truly the most focused and enthusiastic teachers, which made it engaging and enjoyable. The environment at Leighton Park was incredibly supportive and I’ve been enabled to be ambitious about my future plans, for which Leighton Park put me on the right path to fulfil.”

HUMAN SCIENCES, UCL

“As the IB allowed me such a wide range of subject choices (and as I generally enjoyed them) I knew that I wanted the same breadth in my future university course, The Human Sciences course therefore seemed perfect to me as it combined several of my favourite subjects and required skills I had already learnt in the IB.”

“I like the relaxed atmosphere of the School, where I can fully express my personality and grow as a person. My selfconfidence has risen massively and I feel like I have gained so much confidence at Leighton Park but also matured as a person. I also love the amazing opportunities we are given, for example activities and trips. No other school that I know offers such diverse activities and such incredible trips and I am forever grateful that my parents are able to send me to a school like Leighton Park.”

“There are so many reasons why I love Leighton Park, and the best thing is respect. I have never felt such strong respect from staff in my old schools. At Leighton Park you are taught patiently and kindly. Many of my teachers give up their own time to support us with our studies.”
