11+ Admissions Guide 2026

Leweston School is a Roman Catholic co-educational day and boarding school, founded in 1891 and welcoming pupils of all denominations. Overseen by a governing body as a charitable company, the school offers both day and boarding places, with boarding available from Year 4. Boarders are accommodated in four houses within the school grounds, three for female pupils and one for male pupils. The school aims to provide high-quality teaching and learning within a Christian community, helping pupils to develop independence and resilience as they prepare for life beyond school. The school's community is wonderfully diverse. Day pupils come from the surrounding area, whilst boarders join from across the UK as well as Europe, South America and Asia. The school supports pupils with a wide range of needs, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, pupils who speak English as an additional language, and those identified as the most able or as having special talents in sport.
