Leighton Park leads the UK for its commitment to mutually beneficial partnerships and charitable engagement work, winning the prestigious national Independent Schools Association (ISA) Award for Outstanding Community Involvement in 2021 and 2020, the only time a school has won the award two years running.

Developing kind and compassionate leaders for the future is an important part of how we give our Quaker values currency and purpose. Our mutually beneficial partnerships with state schools, community organisations and charities give us insight, strength and courage to look within and strive for a fairer, better society.

Although only a small number of students and staff are Quakers, it is our Quaker roots to which we owe our forward-thinking approach to education. Our values-led education is characterised by:

• Achievement – we inspire a love of learning, deep thinking scholarship and an inner drive for realising talent
• Values – We foster a sense of responsibility, a commitment to helping others and a determination to make a difference
• Character – We develop a confident sense of self, underpinned by resilience, perseverance and self-reflection
• Community – We nurture respect, valuing the potential of each individual and seeking to understand and celebrate difference.
