Head

Leighton Park believes in bringing out the best in everyone. Education as it should be, in an academically rigorous and selective HMC school.

At Leighton Park, young people learn how to think, to believe in themselves and to grow within a community. In an atmosphere of mutual respect, every student is given the confidence to find out who they really are and unearth their individual talents. Pupils build strong relationships with one another and those around them and no one misses out.

The new Head of Leighton Park will need to embody the school’s Quaker values and be passionate about equipping young people with the skills necessary to flourish and meet the challenges that lie ahead. S/he must be strategic, collaborative and maintain a relentless focus on preparing young people for the future.

The School offers a day and boarding education to 460 boys and girls on 60 acres of picturesque parkland within walking distance of Reading town centre.
