Please support our rowers who are fundraising to have water and electricity installed in the school's boathouse:
As our rowing season and school year comes to an end, a reminder that our fundraising page is still open. Thank you so much to those who have donated - past & present rowers, parents, teachers, members of other clubs - rowing truly is one big family! 🚣♂️

On Tuesday evening, both coaches attended the Last Post ceremony at the Menin Gate. Well done to Ellie and Luke who represented the school as wreath bearers. Both have epitomised the values and standards of St Leonard’s students throughout this trip and should be proud.

Both groups are back in their respective hotels after a long and fascinating day touring some of the WW1 Battlefields. Very emotional and sobering seeing so many graves of fallen soldiers, especially those from so close to home…
