Leighton Park

Leighton Park was founded in 1890 and is a day and boarding school for girls and boys aged 11-18 set in 65 acres of beautiful parkland in Reading, Berkshire. Winner of the Best Co-educational School 2021, South East England, the school has been fully co-ed since 1993 and has a 50:50 ratio of girls to boys at its Year 7 entry point.

The UK Government’s latest Sixth Form league tables reveal Leighton Park to be the best performing school in Berkshire. Our A Level students achieved 72% A*/A last year. The Independent School Inspectorate (ISI) awarded Leighton Park a ‘double excellent’ standard in January 2022, the highest possible attainment for an independent school.

Our approach is to support students to succeed as themselves, with the breadth and depth to thrive in life as well as in the academic arena. Our aim is to nurture our student’s talents, whatever they might be, with academic achievement the consequence of our approach rather than the object. STEAM, Music and Ethical Changemakers programmes are particular strengths of the school.
