Year 7 and 8 (Fryer House) Newcomers' Events

The Fryer Orientation Day on Monday 16th June provides a helpful and reassuring introduction to life at Leighton Park in advance of the Autumn term. Students will meet some of their new classmates and Housemates, spend time in Fryer House and get to know the Tutor team.

Children should come dressed in clothing suitable for PE, and bring a water bottle and either a waterproof coat or hat/sun cream (depending on the weather).

At the end of the afternoon, parents and guardians are welcome to join us for refreshments prior to collecting their children.

The Nearly New Shop will also open for the purchasing of uniform and sports kit.

Everyone is welcome to join us for Music for a Summer’s Evening which is a lovely informal al fresco event on the school grounds. It is enjoyed annually by the Leighton Park community who will gather on the Park to celebrate the musical talents of our wonderful students and relax with friends over food.

You are welcome to bring a picnic and may wish to bring picnic chairs and rugs or blankets if the weather is cooler.

There is no requirement for you to stay for the whole of the evening, please do come along for as much of the event as you wish.

There is no need to RSVP – we look forward to seeing you there.

This event will take place between 4.00pm and 7.30pm – exact timings are to be confirmed.

 

New boarders are welcome to arrive at Leighton Park from 4.00pm.

Early arrivals are unable to be accommodated due to staff availability.

Students should go directly to Fryer House where they will be welcomed by the House Team and shown to their rooms.

There will be a welcome tea for students, parents and guardians in Oakview from 6.00pm.

Should you have any questions, please do contact Helen Tatlock, Fryer Housemistress – [email protected]
