Our LeAF mantra is Perform to Your Potential

LeAF Studio recognises that children and young people have a fundamental right to be protected from harm or exploitation and that, unless they feel secure, children cannot learn effectively. LeAF Studio ensures it provides a school environment which promotes self-confidence, a feeling of worth and the knowledge that students’ concerns, no matter how expressed, will be listened to and acted upon.

LeAF Studio actively promotes British Values where the values of democracy, the law, individual liberty, mutual respect, and tolerance for others supports the student’s development into well-rounded adults.
