​Leighton Park’s 80-strong cohort of Year 11 students were up bright and early this morning eager to collect their GCSE results. Whilst all were keen to discover the outcome of two years’ dedicated study, many were equally keen join the Sixth Form next autumn, ranked the Best in Berkshire and in the Top 40 nationally for academic progress.

Recognised as the top school in Berkshire and in the top 40 nationally by Government’s new league tables for Sixth Form progress, Leighton Park staff and students already had cause to celebrate the success of their Sixth Form education. Even so, it was a delight to see so many smiling faces on the Park today as excited students grabbed their brollies and braved the downpours to collect their A level results.

Over 200 enthusiastic students from five schools across Berkshire were lucky enough to hear molecular biologist, geneticist and television presenter Dr Emily Grossman deliver the inaugural STEAM lecture at Leighton Park School’s STEAM Careers Fair on Monday 2nd July.

The girls of Leighton Park ran, kicked, batted, bowled, shot, stretched and jumped their way through last week as the inaugural festival of girls’ sport sprang into action!

With the school’s aim of providing an inspiring, holistic education for each individual, Leighton Park School’s Deputy Head (Academic), Karen Gracie-Langrick, is delighted to announce three new GCSE options to offer Year 10 students even more choice from September 2018.
