Good Schools Guide
"We thought it one of the most distinctive schools we'd visited and came away with a renewed sense of hope for the future. More schools would do well to adopt the LP model - it has 'integrity and honest at heart'".
This is just one of the key findings from a recent visit from the Good Schools Guide visit. The visit, which took place over a full school day, took in a normal day at Leighton Park. The Editor attended morning Collect (assembly), music and drama lessons, sporting activities, visited lessons and examined work and visited a House. He met with staff, pupils and also spoke to parents of some current pupils.
In addition to praising the ethos and culture of the school, the labs were described as "extensive", the drama department as "pupils ooze talent" and with regards to other arts: "Great stress is laid on aesthetics at LP- ranch like art studios provide more creative space than most schools this size." The report also lists some of the range of musical activities on offer. Regarding sport, the editor quotes a parent, saying "parents are pleased with the way sport has come of age at LP in recent years."
One of the students is quoted as saying "My friends can't work out why I choose to spend so much of my spare time at LP, but I love it here."
The Good Schools Guide is the only truly independent directory for over 1000 state and private schools in the UK.
