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.

Bringing the Bayeux Tapestry to life at LEH!
To celebrate the Bayeux Tapestry’s historic visit to the UK, our Year 7 pupils enjoyed a special half-day exploring one of the world’s most remarkable historical artefacts.
From a live stream with experts at the British Museum to discovering the skills of an art historian, students explored the tapestry’s craftsmanship, symbolism and storytelling, while learning more about the Norman Conquest and medieval England.
Inspired by the original masterpiece, pupils then collaborated to create their own modern version: A Day in the Life of a Third! With support from our Classics Department and its Latin statements, they captured everyday life at LEH in the distinctive narrative style of the tapestry.
A fantastic cross-curricular collaboration bringing together History, History of Art and Classics! 🎨📜

Celebrating Black History Month at LEH!
From an inspiring talk with alumna and celebrated singer and musician Sheyi Martins-Allen (Class of 2006), to exploring TfL’s Black History Tube map, our Black History Month celebrations have been full of learning, reflection and creativity.
Our Houses also brought the heat in our Ready, Steady, Cook bake-off, celebrating the cultural heritage of traditional jerk chicken. Congratulations to Holles, our winning House, and De Vere, our runners-up!
We’ve also launched a Half Term challenge for Years 7 and 8, encouraging students to explore a question, person or period in Black history and reflect on what it tells us.
A wonderful opportunity to celebrate achievements, share stories and deepen our understanding of Black history and its continuing impact.
