We aim to be upfront and transparent about our fees. This is why they cover many of the costs that other schools charge extra for, like breakfast, lunch and dinner, co-curricular activities, supervised prep and the flexibility to take advantage of a longer school day. There are some charges for optional extras and examination fees, which are detailed below.
Students at Leighton Park also benefit from exceptional individual support underpinned by a teacher student ratio of 1:6.7. Tutors are responsible for 11 tutees, significantly fewer than a norm of 20-25, and see their tutees three times every day.
