Leighton Park School

Our Lower Sixth Business students attended Ethical Reading's "Business Ethics Schools Fair” yesterday.
The fair prepares students for the working world by posing real-world moral and ethical dilemmas faced by local organisations. Students heard from business leaders about ethics in practice, took part in small-group discussions, and had opportunities to network.

An exciting new sustainable transport initiative, the brainwave of Lower Sixth student, Holly, is already having an impact for young people across Reading.

The Reading Buses Youth Panel has successfully brought together students from five local secondary schools through Connect Reading, creating a valuable opportunity for young people to share their perspectives and experiences of using local bus services. Students from Kendrick School, Reading School, Theale Green School, Blessed Hugh Faringdon Catholic School and Leighton Park School have engaged in collaborative discussions to identify key priorities for improving accessibility, communication, customer experience, and engagement with young passengers.

Congratulations to our Year 10s celebrating their achievements in the National Scientific Thinking Challenge with
🥇7 Gold Awards - Top 10% in the country!
🥈11 Silver Awards
🥉9 Bronze Awards
Designed to test scientific reasoning, data analysis, problem-solving and critical thinking, the challenge encourages students to apply their knowledge in unfamiliar contexts and develop skills that extend far beyond the classroom.
Opportunities like this contribute to our students' personal development as well as their academic progress, ensuring that they well prepared for the future ahead.

Curiosity, creativity and critical thinking were on full display at last night's Fryer Project Qualification (FPQ) Expo!
From exploring 'How effective are UK legal sentences' to asking 'If scientists used CRISPR to bring back 2 dinosaurs, could we make them function as a species', our Year 8 students showcased impressive independence, originality and the true spirit of enquiry. Well done Year 8s!

An excellent afternoon of Pickleball yesterday with our four Houses gaining those all important points before the end of the year! 🏓
