Founded in 1875, The Leys School is the only co-educational boarding school in the heart of Cambridge. It maintains a Methodist foundation which influences its ethos of a balanced education, combining academic achievement with pastoral care and a strong sense of community. The school prides itself on being a 'big small school,' where every student is known and supported personally.
The Leys offers a traditional British curriculum including GCSEs and A-Levels. While deeply rooted in British tradition, it maintains a significant international population, particularly in its boarding houses. The school is famous for its exceptional sports facilities and its 'Great Hall,' a performing arts center. Its proximity to the university colleges provides students with an inspiring academic environment and unique opportunities for enrichment.
