Year 9 Newcomers' Events

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

We are unable to accommodate early arrivals due to staff availability.

Students should go directly to their boarding 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.

The first day for students in Year 9 will be Newcomers’ Day on Wednesday 3rd September. Students should arrive at 8.30am at Peckover Hall in Leighton Park sports kit. Parents can drop students at Grove Car Park.

During Newcomers’ Day, students will meet their tutors, be issued with their IT device, be given an induction to our online resources, explore the Park with our Sixth Form prefects and enjoy some fun activities with new friends across students and staff.
