FACING THE FUTURE UNDAUNTED

LEH is a place of curiosity and adventure, where enthusiastic and bright young minds are encouraged to be bold and undaunted in their thoughts, actions, and dreams for the future and to discover the scope of their brilliance.

Pupils are given the encouragement, inspiration, and opportunity to experience new things, to take risks, and to innovate as they grow and discover more about themselves. They do this in the warmth and safety of a caring school community with mutual respect and positive relationships at its heart. We are proud to be a values-driven school, where difference is celebrated, and everyone feels like they belong.

Fearless Futures: From the first stroke to leading British Rowing

Louise Kingsley MBE, Class of 1984

What started at LEH as one of the early pioneers of school rowing has grown into an extraordinary career at the heart of British high-performance sport.

Today, Louise leads the GB Rowing Team’s World Class Programme, after more than 20 years developing athletes, coaches and teams, including four Paralympic Games and the hugely successful Paris 2024 Games.

Her story is one of teamwork, resilience, leadership and believing in where an opportunity might take you. 

“Never underestimate where a school opportunity might lead.”

From helping establish rowing at LEH to leading athletes on the world’s biggest sporting stage, Louise’s journey is a powerful reminder that you never know where your first stroke might take you. Read more: link in bio

Fearless Futures: Building Businesses with Confidence

Sisters, Shafali Shown-Keen (Class of 1999) & Anisha Sharma (Class of 2000) began their professional lives in finance, but deciding they wanted to branch out on their own, they channeled their LEH bold spirit and are now successful McDonald’s franchise partners, leading thriving businesses.

“LEH taught us not to limit ourselves. So when the opportunity came to build something of our own, it felt exciting rather than scary.”

They credit LEH with giving them the confidence to speak up, embrace new challenges and see leadership as something that felt natural rather than exceptional. Today, that same ethos shapes the way they lead: empowering their teams, celebrating others’ success and creating workplaces where people can flourish.

Their advice to current LEH students?

Believe in yourself. Embrace opportunities. Don’t be afraid to take the first step. And find work that brings you joy. Because sometimes the most bold futures are the ones you never planned.
