MENU QUICK LINKS Boarding Home Life at Leighton Park SUB MENU CONTACT US SHARE Many students enjoy the boarding experience whether they are full, weekly or flexi boarders just staying a couple of nights a week. For all it is the opportunity to benefit from the independence that comes from staying at school but most importantly in a secure and comfortable environment where they can concentrate on their study but also be happy and grow as individuals. At Leighton Park the Housemasters focus on creating as homely an environment as possible, ensuring each student feels secure and relaxed. With a dedicated staff and plenty of opportunity to socialise with other students, each house is very much its own community. All the houses are co-educational, with shared social and recreational spaces where both girls’ and boys’ can watch television, play games and generally relax and socialise. Residential areas are separated into girls’ and boys’ ‘wings’, and clear and well-enforced rules, including structured bed-times for each Year Group and prohibited areas, ensure all students are disciplined while still giving them the opportunity to develop well-balanced friendships. Younger students benefit from the support of their peers, while Sixth Form students are gain from the independence granted to them by having their own personal space. Student bedrooms are comfortable and homely and students are encouraged to makes the room their own with posters and photos, a home from home. Sixth Formers are provided with single study bedrooms, and younger students typically share a room with one to three others, with each student having access to their own space to study within their rooms. Full boarders enjoy a balance of organised and free time at weekends. Our Saturday morning activities programme continues to offer a variety of sporting, academic and creative options for the pupils. As always, day pupils are more than welcome to join the activities and trips and can get further details from their Housemaster. Weekends also offer students the opportunity to go on one of the many organised activities, which range can range from ice-skating, go-karting, cinema and shopping trips, visits to London and Historical Landmarks. Food is an important part of school life and particularly for students who are boarding.
