St Leonard's

It is lovely to share the news with families that St Leonard’s has won all three awards for the Northeast in this year’s Sunday Times Parent Power Awards. The awards are: State Secondary School of the Year, State Secondary School of the Year for Academic Excellence and Comprehensive School of the Year. Credit for these awards belongs to our entire community of families, pupils, teachers, support staff and governors. To win just one award would be significant, but to win all three awards is very unusual and says something very powerful about our school community. We are blessed to have such supportive families, and we would not have won these awards without your support.  

The awards recognise the achievements of our students in A Level and GCSE exams, student destinations post-18, our retention of Year 11 into Sixth Form, student participation in enrichment, our standard of student conduct and our standing in the community. All our work is underpinned by our core mission and belief that ‘all pupils are known and loved’ and this remains our constant mission going forward.
