Academics

Relaxed Excellence

Academic success at LEH means not only achieving the best grades, but ensuring our students grow as people, through curiosity, independence, and a deep engagement with learning. We offer a balance of academic challenge, emotional intelligence, and personal development for all, supporting them to achieve that excellence alongside happiness and wellbeing, not in conflict with it. We call this our culture of ‘relaxed excellence’, which encourages attainment of the highest standards and a joyful school life. Every day is programmed with the best in education, offering academic learning experiences that stretch and challenge our girls, but always supported by kindness and care.

Learning Through Dialogue

Academic excellence starts in the classroom. We encourage small, discussion-led classes, where students are treated as partners in their education. Lessons are rich in debate, collaboration and intellectual challenge – designed to stretch thinking and spark ideas far beyond the exam syllabus.

Personalised Support

Our pastoral support is framed around every student being unique – staff are always there to support your daughter, not just with academic help, but through personal challenges. We pride ourselves on LEH being a place of safety and security, where girls grow academically and in confidence. We achieve this blend of consistent academic and pastoral excellence by focusing on high quality teaching that leads to strong results, from day one, through the years, and on beyond our pupils’ time at LEH, towards university, career and life success.

A Bold Voice in Girls’ Education

As a leading independent girls’ school, we use the latest evidence and experience to inform our approach to teaching and learning. We are at the forefront of contributing to and learning from research that supports each girl at LEH.

From commissioning our own research, to working with experienced experts and collaborating through respected networks, we make sure our practice is evidence-based and tested to be the best. Our leadership in providing a bold voice for girls’ education ensures each student receives the best possible learning education at LEH, and it’s our strategic ambition to become a centre of expertise, sharing insights with other schools as we invest in staff-led research and initiatives.

Results that Speak for Themselves

We truly believe success at LEH isn’t just about what you achieve. It’s about who you become on the way.
