Located in the heart of the historic university city of Cambridge, The Leys is the city’s leading co-educational boarding and day school for pupils aged 11 - 18.  The school is situated close to the banks of the River Cam, just a five minute walk from the city centre but within a spacious, leafy 50 acre campus.  Often referred to as a ‘big, small school’, The Leys is big enough to offer opportunities which are the envy of many, but small enough that each and every pupil is personally known and nurtured. The Leys provides a small, close-knit community where relationships are based on mutual respect and shared values.

The school takes full advantage of every opportunity the city of Cambridge has to offer, and they have built strong links within the university itself. These can take the form of numerous academic enrichment activities, joining inter-collegiate sports competitions and even joining forces with college choirs to perform in their chapels.

There are numerous reasons why parents choose to give their children the benefits of a Cambridge education.  To see this for yourself we would love to welcome you to one of our Open Mornings where you can meet the staff and pupils and see the school in action.
