Vision and Mission

Leighton Park is a leading, independent co-educational day and boarding school in Britain: Leighton Park’s central purpose is to form young people of real character, independence and confidence, with a determined desire to change the world. This flows from our unique blend of deep Quaker values, the meaningful connections between our students and staff, first-class academic and pastoral support, and our holistic approach to learning. Our inspirational and supportive familyfeel environment enables us to deliver consistently an exceptional values-based education which leads to excellent achievement.

To develop the qualities in our young people that will help them to reach their greatest potential: to become the global changemakers of the future.

How we’ll achieve our mission

• Inspiring excellence through achievement; we empower our students to work to the best of their academic ability. Taking an
  interest in, and deriving satisfaction from, study and personal growth – gaining an independence in their approach to work.

• Inspiring change through deep Quaker values; simplicity, truth, respect, integrity, peace, equality and sustainability. All these
  pervade our working practice, personal relationships and daily life, and inform our curriculum. After their time with us, these values
  continue to guide and inform our students to be a force for change, and to live ethical and fulfilling lives.

• Inspiring character; we seek to reveal young people of real character and independence; individuals who are free-thinking with a clear, confident awareness of themselves and others. We look for opportunities in self-discovery through a broad and diverse range of
  creative and cultural activities, recreation and sport, to grant our students, in our safe and enriching environment, the space and
  freedom to truly be themselves and achieve greater things as a result.

• Inspiring a strong commitment to community action and service; we nurture an exceptional sense of community in every aspect of
  school life. Such outstanding pastoral care enables our students to truly flourish as individuals.
  Inspiring our students for a life beyond the classroom; our commitment to realising students’ creative talents combined with
  an inter-disciplinary and imaginative approach to STEAM and ethical enterprise foster creative impulses and skills in critical thinking, creative problem solving, entrepreneurship and leadership. The skills and knowledge, in short, for our students to be change-makers and achieve their greatest potential and truly let their lives speak.
