Why Choose LEH for Sixth Form?
Exceptional A Levels. Outstanding Opportunities. A Sixth Form Where You Can Be Bold.
Choosing where to study for Sixth Form is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. It’s about much more than choosing A Levels. It’s about finding a community that will challenge you academically, support you personally and prepare you for life beyond school. LEH Sixth offers the perfect balance of academic ambition, independence and opportunity. Whether you’re already part of the LEH community or joining us from another school, you’ll become part of a vibrant, welcoming environment where you’ll be encouraged to think boldly, lead confidently and discover what you’re capable of achieving.
Academic excellence that opens doors
Outstanding teaching is at the heart of everything we do.
Our expert teachers inspire curiosity, encourage intellectual risk-taking and support every student to achieve their personal best. Small class sizes mean lessons are engaging, discussion-led and tailored to individual needs, allowing students to develop genuine subject expertise rather than simply preparing for examinations.
Alongside excellent A Level outcomes, students benefit from opportunities such as the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), independent research projects, academic societies, lectures and competitions that prepare them for university study and beyond.
What makes LEH Sixth Form special?
The best of both worlds
LEH offers all the advantages of a high-achieving girls’ school, alongside the unique opportunities created through our Hampton School Partnership.
Students enjoy a wide-ranging joint Enrichment programme that takes them beyond the curriculum through shared lectures, societies and social events, combining the confidence and academic focus of single-sex education with opportunities to collaborate in a wider community.
Exceptional Pastoral Care
Sixth Form is exciting, but it can also be demanding.
Our pastoral support ensures every student feels known, valued and supported throughout their journey. Tutors, teachers, Heads of Year and our dedicated wellbeing teams work closely with students to help them manage academic challenges, maintain a healthy balance and make the most of every opportunity.
We believe students achieve their best when they feel happy, confident and able to be themselves.
A community that lasts beyond school
Joining LEH means becoming part of a lifelong community.
Our students leave with friendships that endure, connections through our global alumnae network and the confidence to embrace whatever comes next. Whether they progress to Russell Group universities, specialist conservatoires, degree apprenticeships or international destinations, they leave equipped with the knowledge, skills and ambition to thrive.
Bold Futures Start Here
Sixth Form at LEH is about becoming the person you want to be.
It’s about discovering new passions, pursuing ambitious goals and challenging yourself in ways you never imagined. It’s about exceptional teaching, inspiring opportunities and a community that believes in your potential from day one.
Whether you’re continuing your LEH journey or joining us from another school, we can’t wait to welcome you and help you write the next chapter of your story.
Pupils have opportunities to present ideas to broader audiences, such as when some pupils represented a mental health group at Parliament. These experiences help pupils understand how engagement with political issues can create positive change.

Welcome from the Head
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.

Welcome from the Head Girl Team
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.
Maya, Ursula, Kiara and Shimmy – Head Girl Team 2025-26
Joining as the only girl from my junior school was daunting, but I never felt alone. LEH helped me find confidence in myself through drama, sport, and public speaking. I’ve grown into someone my Year 7 self would look up to.
Kiara - Head Girl Team 2025-2026
The STEM department at LEH is inspiring. Whether it’s applying science to real-world debates or racing electric cars, I’ve gained skills and belief in myself that I’ll carry far beyond school.
Maya - Head Girl Team 2025-2026
At LEH, I discovered passions I didn’t even know I had. The support from staff and friends has shaped who I am. It’s a school that helps every girl find her spark—and run with it.
Ursula - Head Girl Team 2025-2026
From oversized blazers in Year 7 to the strong friendships I have now, LEH has helped me build confidence, embrace challenge and follow every ambition I had—whether in music, sport or theatre.
Sienna (Upper 6) is heading to drama school! We are delighted to share that our wonderfully talented, Upper 6 student, Sienna has accepted a place at Mountview to study on their one-year acting programme! Mountview is one of the UK’s most prestigious and highly competitive drama schools, renowned for training leading actors and industry professionals, making this an exceptional achievement! Working closely with her LEH Speech and Drama teacher, Sienna prepared a programme of contrasting monologues, both classical and contemporary which she performed as part of a self-tape submission. She was then invited to a further online audition, where she performed her pieces again and responded to direction in real time.
The one-year course offers intensive, conservatoire-style training, and Sienna will be focusing on a range of key modules, including Acting, Text & Voice, Movement & Dance, Recorded Media, Creative Practice, and Vocational Planning, providing a strong foundation for a professional career in the industry.
We are thrilled to see Sienna take this exciting next step, having been involved in Speech and Drama since joining LEH in Year 7. She has also taken singing lessons at LEH and is eager to continue developing her performance skills, looking forward to becoming more involved in both singing and acting in the future. We wish her every success as she begins her training! @leh_drama @lehjuniors @hollesconnect #creativityfavoursthebold #boldfuturesstarthere

Yesterday`s Induction Day was filled with new friendships, team challenges, music, games and plenty of smiles as our newest pupils got their first taste of life at LEH, supported by our fantastic Sixth Form mentors.
It has been another exceptional week of sport at LEH, with students demonstrating talent, determination and outstanding sportsmanship across a range of competitions. From Gold medals in Athletics and impressive cricket victories to victories on the tennis courts, pupils competed with skill, resilience and determination. Congratulations to everyone who took part, achieved personal bests and represented LEH with pride in what has been a fantastic celebration of sporting excellence @leh_sport @hollesconnect @lehjuniors #sucessfavoursthebold #boldbegiiningsstarthere
What happens when students are given the freedom to explore a subject they`re truly passionate about?
This week, our Year 8 students showcased the results of months of independent research as part of our Be Bold! Project, delivering presentations based on the 2,000-word essays they had researched and written themselves.
Inspired by the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), the project develops far more than academic knowledge. From project management and critical thinking to research, presentation and independent study skills, our students are building the confidence to ask big questions, think deeply and communicate their ideas with clarity.
Because at LEH, we believe that bold thinking builds the foundations for academic excellence, and a lifetime of learning. @lehjuniors @lehschoolofficial @hollesconnect #FearlessFutures #boldbeginningsstarthere #extendedprojectqualification #epq #achievementfavoursthebold
