Welcome to Leighton Park

John DunstonLeighton Park is a co-educational independent school for 490 day pupils and boarders aged 11 - 18 and drawn from almost twenty different countries.

Outstanding academic achievement and pastoral care are supported by the school's distinctive ethos, based upon Quaker values. Young people are part of a forward-looking, busy and active community that gives them an exceptional and enriching preparation for life, one where they have time: time to learn and to grow; time to understand themselves, their worth as individuals and the worth of others.

The beautiful park, within which the school is set, provides a surprising oasis of calm just minutes from the centre of Reading. Here is an ideal environment in which young people can live and breathe; study and learn, grow and mature.
