Word From The Head

Head Photo

From Matthew Judd, Head


We are a school that inspires Achievement with Values, Character and Community. This is the Leighton Park difference and has been since our Quaker foundation in the nineteenth century. The School is distinctive and original in each of these areas. Nurturing young people of real character and confidence, with a determined desire to change the world.

Leighton Park is in the top 3% in the UK for the academic progress our Sixth Form leavers make. I’m pleased to say that we are now in the top 0.3%, the best performing school in Berkshire and the 14th best performing boarding school in England.

School Reviews

Leighton Park parent


Leighton Park is kind, I love the fact that pupils can call teachers by their first names. There is a lot of mutual respect - with teachers having a lot of respect for individuality - no matter what the child is trying to do, the teachers will try and support them.  

Gabriel, Lower Sixth


This school really encourages you to be an individual, it doesn't shape you in a certain way like other schools might. It encourages you to be yourself, and be successful as yourself.  

Josh, Year 8


Cherish every moment at Leighton Park because you'll never want it to end.  

Rhiannon, Lower Sixth


The teachers take everyone from different levels and help them become the best that they can; they never say you can't get a good grade; they make you recognise that you have to put the hard work in and it's not just them pushing you, you have to push yourself.  

Ruth, Year 9


It's very different to other schools in the way that you are allowed to be your own person. Every person is heard within the school. You will have every opportunity to be heard and there is always someone to talk to.  

Old Leightonian Boarder


Being a boarder gave me a more involved school experience. At university I find myself talking about school and House life with an affection that is obviously alien to so many people.
