St Leonards

Situated in the heart of St Andrews, St Leonards is a forwardthinking, coeducational, boarding and day school which offers an outstanding education for pupils aged five to 18. St Leonards follows the globally-recognised International Baccalaureate curriculum, praised by students, parents, and admissions officers for its focus on deepening learning, offering wider subject options, and enriching minds. In Years 1-6, pupils follow the Primary Years Programme (PYP), before progressing to the Middle Years Programme (MYP). In the Sixth Form, students choose either the Diploma Programme (DP) or Career-related Programme (CP). St Leonards was the first school in Scotland to be accredited as an all-through IB school, and is one of two schools in the UK to actively offer all four programmes.

Timetables are designed to establish a healthy balance of outstanding extracurricular activities alongside academic studies, with over 50 activities offered including the leading five-tier St Leonards Golf Programme. The exciting calendar of trips and activities ensures pupils leave St Leonards equipped with the skills and interests to succeed in today’s ever-changing world.

Full, flexi, and weekly boarding is available from age 10. The boarding houses have recently undergone an extensive £5 million redevelopment to create stylish, spacious communal areas with state-of-the-art kitchens. Bedrooms are fitted with built-in beds and study spaces with modern storage and lighting, and some even have stunning sea views beyond the school playing fields.

At the start of the 2021-22 academic year, St Leonards welcomed new Head Mr Simon Brian. Prior to his appointment, he was Deputy

Head (Academic) at Charterhouse School, Surrey. He brings a wealth of educational leadership experience from his first Deputy Headship at Cheltenham College, and from various roles at prestigious London day schools, namely Dulwich College and Highgate School. Mr Brian is looking forward to building on the school’s thriving extracurricular programme, academic ambition, pioneering heritage, international outlook, and welcoming community, ensuring that St Leonards continues to provide an outstanding education ‘Ad Vitam’ (for life).
