Has LP Changed You?
Has Leighton Park Changed You?
LP has made me more confident and able to communicate with others from different backgrounds. Overall it has taught me that I should be open minded and accept other people's opinions on different issues.
A Sixth Form student
It has definitely helped me to express more individuality and to be happy with myself.
A pupil (Year 9)
I have always been quite confident but I think that I have become more daring: I have already performed two solos on my 'cello and have sung a solo to the whole of the school.
A pupil (Year 7)
Very much so. I've spent most of my life in a school of a thousand or more which tends to swamp you as an individual. Here the talents of each person are noticed and encouraged I've always been a singer but had never really performed. So far, I have participated in every soloist concert since I arrived and have come to believe in my own abilities, something I had never done before.
A Sixth Form student
My confidence and character have increased and thrived. LP has truly changed me and helped me to find myself.
A Sixth Form student
Yes, I've grown in confidence in my own abilities and potential and I'm no longer scared of talking to adults.
A pupil (Year 11)
Yes. It's made me more open-minded: I think about the world around me a lot more and I am more adventurous as a result. It has also given me the time and space to become more sociable.
A Sixth Form student
I think LP has given me different views on things as well as helping me become more confident and make lots of friends.
A pupil (Year 10)
When I arrived at LP I was going backwards. Now I am achieving academically, enjoying myself, doing DofE, in the A teams for rugby and cricket - I really love the time I am having here.
A pupil (Year 10)
I don't think it has particularly changed me in any way: it has just enabled me to grow more fully into a more rounded person.
A Sixth Form student
I think the school has definitely taught me not to be judgemental of anyone. It has also probably improved my confidence and taught me the value of friendship!
A Sixth Form student
Changed? NO! I have changed myself and LP has given me the opportunity to do this. I have had support all the way from my friends and my teachers.
