Bold Futures Start Here

Welcome to what is certain to be the most exciting stage of your education so far. Sixth Form at LEH is more than a timetable of subjects or a stepping stone to what comes next. It’s a tailored experience and a step-change in independence for every student.

These two years are the most transformative of your school journey. You’ll experience greater freedoms and agency, deeper friendships, and a richer, more dynamic relationship with your teachers. You’ll be stretched, challenged, and championed – whether through your A Level subjects, the Extended Project Qualification, the many extra-curricular activities on offer, or the many opportunities to lead, support, inspire and lift those around you.

At LEH, you won’t just be part of the Sixth Form – you’ll help shape it. Our Sixth Form students are empowered with real agency: they drive ideas, launch initiatives, and lead meaningful change throughout the school. Each year, one of my personal highlights is working alongside our Sixth Form – your voices, your energy, and your perspective help us to respond to a rapidly changing world with imagination and courage. Most importantly, we make space for fun and laughter every day. We believe happiness is essential – not just to thrive and succeed, but to live fulfilling lives at every stage.

Our dedicated teachers, experienced Futures advisors, and inspirational alumnae network will walk with you every step of the way, opening doors and helping you navigate the exciting, sometimes unexpected, turns in your journey. Whether your path is clear or, as is often the case, still taking shape, LEH is here to help you explore it and boldly grasp all the opportunities on offer.

And through our strong partnership with Hampton School, you’ll benefit from a vibrant joint Beyond the Curriculum programme and shared activities that broaden your horizons and deepen your knowledge. You’ll have all the benefits of a single sex academic experience, with plenty of extra-curricular opportunity to experience co-educational collaboration.

Your time in the Sixth Form will pass quickly, but it will leave a lasting mark. You’ll build memories that stay with you for life and develop the mindset, resilience, and curiosity that will shape your future – whatever you choose to do next. We hope LEH sounds like somewhere you can see yourself authentically thrive.

Your LEH Journey

Sixth Form at LEH is where you take greater ownership of your journey. It’s where you choose the subjects that excite and challenge you, and where your passions begin to shape your future. Your experience at LEH will be about much more than what happens in the classroom.

You’ll step into a world of opportunity – from academic exploration to real-world challenges and unforgettable adventures. Whether you’re building a business in Young Enterprise, performing on stage, representing your House, mentoring younger students, or exploring global issues through Model United Nations, you’ll develop the skills and confidence to lead, inspire, and make a difference.

These experiences are designed to stretch you – to open your eyes, raise your sights, and help you grow into someone who’s ready to thrive in the world beyond school. They’ll build resilience, empathy, and a strong sense of who you are – and they’ll stay with you for life.

LEH students leave Sixth Form as confident, curious thinkers, ready to carve out bold futures at university and beyond. They know how to aim high, challenge convention, and bring energy and purpose to everything they do.

We can’t wait to see what you’ll do next.

A message from the Head Girl Team

Starting secondary school can feel daunting, but at LEH, every Third is made to feel instantly at home. From the very first day, meeting our Year 10 buddies and being introduced to the legendary House system, we became part of something vibrant and welcoming. Those older students became friendly faces in corridors, offering tips (like how to survive the tuck shop queue!) and a sense of belonging that made all the difference.

Looking back, what stands out most about our early days at LEH is how quickly we settled in. Whether it was our Form Tutors patiently answering endless questions, playing inter-class netball tournaments, or taking part in House quizzes, the sense of community was immediate and strong.

We were encouraged to throw ourselves into school life, and our lunchtimes quickly filled up with clubs – Debating Club, Theatre Production, Swimming, Fencing, Chess, Quiz Club – we literally had hundreds of clubs and activities on offer – the choice felt endless. That same spirit of exploration extended to our lessons too. In subjects like product design and textiles, we learned to use new technology and tools, while in Music, we composed our own pieces – however chaotic they may have sounded at first!

Sport plays a huge part in LEH life, and the Thirds dive straight in. Many of us joined squads for lacrosse, netball, swimming or gymnastics, gaining confidence, learning discipline, and sharing unforgettable experiences with our teammates – on the pitch and off.

The Music and Drama departments foster creativity and self-expression, supporting everyone from beginners to future professionals. The Write the Girl programme, for example, encourages students to use drama as a tool to amplify the voices of young women, a cause close to our hearts.

Our journey has also been shaped by the unforgettable trips and shared experiences that bind us together: from conquering the PGL zip lines in Year 7 to rekindling that same adventurous spirit on the Sixth Form leadership retreat to Avon Tyrrell. These experiences cement friendships and build the sense of sisterhood that defines LEH.

The House system is at the heart of school life, uniting students across all year groups in healthy competition and shared celebration. Whether through Drama, Music, Sport, cooking or debate, these events bring out our collective spirit and pride.

At LEH, you’re encouraged to be curious, bold, and kind. LEH’s ethos, of supporting one another, embracing challenge, and celebrating each other’s wins, makes the seven years here truly transformative.
