From the Ley Hill School
We have created a solid functioning approach for guaranteeing outstanding standards of behaviour both inside and outside of the classroom through collaboration between families and the school. The School Council, which is made up of the students, has had a direct hand in its progress. Everyone has the right to feel safe, happy, and confident at our school, which is the foundation of our basic principles. Contract for Class Expectations Our school's expectations have been reduced to three fundamental principles through partnership with the entire school. Which are: Be honest, nice, and courteous. The students can easily make the most of their educational experience at the school thanks to these key values. Additionally, they give parents a potent instrument to assure the greatest possible social and academic behaviour.
