About Lealands High School
Introduction to Lealands
Lealands High School is located on the northern edge of Luton, in Sundon Park, and caters for students from 11-16 years old. Our facilities, following a £17.5m investment in 2013, are fantastic and I would encourage you to visit and see these for yourself.
Our students achieve excellent outcomes and make good progress in a welcoming, safe and caring environment. This progress is supported by the hard work and commitment of well qualified staff who set high expectations to enable every child to succeed.
Ofsted judged the school to be good with outstanding behaviour, in our most recent inspection, and said, “The school’s motto to “Aspire Believe Achieve” is an accurate reflection of students’ very positive attitudes and performance”.
We passionately believe in the potential of every student and are focused on enabling young people to flourish in an ever demanding world. Our students experience a wide range of engaging, relevant and inspirational learning activities; both in and out of the classroom.
As a school, we strongly believe in partnerships working together in the best interests of all our students. Parents/carers, students, staff, governors, community groups and friends all work together to ensure that the young in our school enjoy the learning journey and achieve exceptional results.
