Welcome to our Leon School and Sports College website

The headline of this webpage introduction for September 2010 was:  “We have changed our education significantly… for the better…”.  This statement was certainly justified by our 2011 June Ofsted, “a good school with outstanding features”.

We were pleased to receive this confirmation of our school improvement journey which has not finished yet by a long way!  In fact, our future just became a whole lot more exciting.
 
The School
Leon is an 11-19 Trust Mixed Comprehensive in Bletchley, South Milton Keynes.  It has been a specialist Sports College since 1998.  Our 6th form delivery is via a successful partnership with Lord Grey School – we call ourselves the South MK Key Stage 5 Partnership.  We are also exploring Academy conversion as I write.

Our school has some 800 learners and employs 120 dedicated adults.  Our learners are loyal, lively, typically ambitious and proud to represent their school and community.  They wear a new uniform they initiated and are gaining academic confidence in giant strides.  Our people are our strength, whatever age!

Facilities
The school is blessed with some wonderful learning facilities, particularly in Sport and the Arts; a new library; a theatre/cinema and is fully equipped with the latest ICT teaching technology in every classroom.

The school has both Arts Mark and Sports Mark Gold (since reaccredited) and it is three times Investor in People.  We are budget solvent and our exam results are improving year on year.  For the past three years, in fact, we have beaten our ‘personal best’ results.  This reflects our ever improving teaching and learning together with upward trends in attendance and behaviour.

Visitors
Whether you are just browsing or looking for something specific your interest is appreciated.  We always welcome visitors – any arrangements can be made via Christine Adkins (cadkins@leon.milton‑keynes.sch.uk) – 01908 624720 at school.

Our website covers three separate areas of ‘business’: the Leisure Centre; the Arts/Media Centre – both open to the community and the main school.  Once again, welcome to Leon – it demonstrates how we are achieving a better future for our young people and our community.

We are very excited and optimistic about our future.  We know our strengths – (curriculum, discipline, leadership, teaching) and plan to keep on raising results in the years to come.
