Situated in the heart of St Andrews, St Leonards is a forward- thinking, co- educationa­l boarding and day school which offers an outstandin­g education.

St Leonards was named Scotland’s Independen­t School of the Year in 2019 and, for three years running, was ranked as the Top Independen­t School Sixth Form in Scotland for IB/ A- level results by the Sunday Times Schools Guide.

St Leonards was the first school in Scotland to be accredited as an all- through Internatio­nal Baccalaure­ate school, and is the only school in the UK to actively offer all four programmes. In Years

1- 6, pupils follow the Primary Years Programme. This is combined with extensive outdoor learning opportunit­ies, with “Beach School” being a staple of the weekly timetable. The pupils then progress to the Middle Years Programme, before choosing either the Diploma Programme or the Career- related Programme in the Sixth Form.

Over the past three years, the boarding houses have undergone an extensive £ 4 million redevelopm­ent. They have state- of- the- art kitchens and spacious communal areas. The bedrooms have newly fitted built- in beds and study spaces, with modern storage and lighting. Many bedrooms have sea views beyond the school playing fields. Full, flexi, and weekly boarding is available from age 10.

With the beach just a two- minute walk from the school grounds, well- establishe­d links with the

University of St Andrews, and seven championsh­ip links golf courses on the doorstep, co- curricular activities play an important role in school life. St Leonards’ five- tier golf programme continues to go from strength to strength, the Duke of Edinburgh Award is the fastest growing of all Scottish independen­t schools, and an exciting calendar of activities ensures pupils leave equipped with the skills and interests required to succeed.

The admissions team would be delighted to speak with you and answer any questions that you may have about St Leonards.
