Our Values & Ethos
Quakers are people who believe there is that of God in everyone. They recognise no barriers of colour, class, or gender. They regard honesty and integrity, simplicity, equality and peace as central to the manner in which they conduct their lives.
Life at Leighton Park reflects the school's Quaker foundation and is influenced by Quaker thinking and practice. We seek to create a community of tolerance and understanding within which a balance between discipline, especially self-discipline, freedom and exploration is maintained.
The broad, multi-cultural and inclusive character of the school gives each pupil the opportunity to make choices and to participate, and to develop as a unique individual: to let their lives speak.
"Teachers and scholars make a community living and working together under discipline in friendship and mutual respect". The Society of Friends and its schools (1946)
