Supportive, Caring, Friendly
The Leys is primarily a boarding school committed to fostering a caring, friendly, and secure environment for all students. Each child, whether a boarder or a day pupil, is part of one of 11 houses that provide study areas and comfortable accommodations, along with exceptional pastoral care from housemasters and housemistresses. We pride ourselves on being a close-knit community where pastoral care is our top priority. We consider ourselves a "big, small school," offering a wide range of opportunities while knowing each student’s unique strengths and character. This supportive atmosphere helps our pupils gain confidence, essential for fulfilling their potential in both academics and personal pursuits. Founded in 1875, The Leys cherishes its rich history while blending traditional values like courtesy, respect, and tolerance with a modern approach to education. Our dedicated staff and excellent facilities prepare students for future challenges at university and beyond. Located in the vibrant city of Cambridge, we offer unparalleled opportunities for academic and personal growth. Our impressive added value in academic progress and extensive creative, cultural, and sporting options make us proud of our pupils’ achievements, both in and out of the classroom. Ultimately, our greatest pride lies in the students themselves, who represent our most significant accomplishment.
