The Leys is a leading co-educational boarding and day school for pupils aged 11–18, located in the heart of the historic university city of Cambridge. Set on a spacious, leafy 50-acre campus close to the banks of the River Cam and just a five-minute walk from the city centre, the School offers the best of both worlds: an inspiring city location and a close-knit school community.
Often described as a ‘big, small school’, The Leys is large enough to offer an impressive breadth of academic, sporting, creative and co-curricular opportunities, while remaining small enough for every pupil to be personally known, supported and nurtured. Relationships are built on mutual respect and shared values, creating a warm and welcoming community in which pupils are encouraged to grow in confidence and independence.
The School makes the most of its unique Cambridge setting, with strong links to the University of Cambridge providing a wealth of opportunities for academic enrichment and exploration. Pupils can take part in university-led activities, inter-collegiate sports competitions and collaborative musical performances with college choirs in historic university chapels.
A Leys education is about making the most of every opportunity — in the classroom, across the campus and throughout the wider city. Pupils benefit from an environment that combines academic ambition with a strong sense of community, helping them to discover their interests, develop their talents and prepare confidently for life beyond school.
The Leys offers the opportunities of a major school with the personal feel of a close-knit community all within the extraordinary setting of Cambridge.
