We are thrilled to announce the release of our new promotional film, following its premiere last week! Though it’s brief, this film beautifully showcases the joyous, generous, and powerful spirit of our school. It highlights our diverse and vibrant community, where there’s always something happening, yet we remain small and cohesive enough to celebrate each other’s achievements.

We hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed creating it. A huge thank you to Miles Latham and his incredible team at @affixxius_education for capturing the essence of what makes The Leys so special. by @leyscambridge

A Level Politics pupils gained a first-hand insight into British politics during a their recent visit to Whitehall, the Churchill War Rooms and Parliament. From exploring the concentration of power at the heart of government to creating manifestos and contesting a snap election, the experience brought their studies to life beyond the classroom. taken in The Leys School, Cambridge by @leyscambridge

Pupils have also been attending coaching sessions at The Gog Magog Golf Club with Senior Professional Lee Marshall, supporting the continued development of golfers across the School. ⛳️ taken in The Leys School, Cambridge by @leyscambridge

Our Lower Sixth pupils are taking part in a day of activities designed to develop their leadership and collaboration skills.

Whether balancing across a slackline or working in unison through team challenges, pupils rely on communication and teamwork to succeed. The enthusiasm, determination and sense of camaraderie on display is fantastic to see, as pupils support one another. taken in The Leys School, Cambridge by @leyscambridge

Today we welcomed St Faith’s pupils to Great Hall for a technical theatre workshop, where they gained hands-on experience of stage production. Pupils repositioned lighting, added colour filters and explored the theatre’s control systems, developing practical skills while discovering how productions are brought to life. 🎥 taken in The Leys School, Cambridge by @leyscambridge

The Leys' CCF programme saw 24 pupils travel to Portsmouth for an experience combining naval history, outdoor challenge and personal development.

Visits to HMS Victory, HMS Warrior, HMS Alliance and The Mary Rose brought Britain's maritime heritage to life, while activities at Fort Purbrook, such as archery and orienteering, built resilience and problem-solving skills for the cadets. Thank you to the staff who supported the group and to Petty Officer Henry C and Leading Hand Astrid B-C for assisting the Year 10 cadets and helping them make the most of every opportunity. taken in The Leys School, Cambridge by @leyscambridge
