THIS THIRDS HANDBOOK BELONGS TO
WELCOME TO LEH
What an exciting journey we are all about to take together! I am delighted that you have chosen to join us here at LEH and I am certain that you are going to enjoy being part of this wonderful school. You will be presented with countless new opportunities, both in and out of the classroom, and I hope that you grasp them with both hands.
There will be ups and downs as you start making friends and navigating your way around a new school but I promise that you will get lots of support along the way.
At LEH we embrace and accept the things that make us all different. So, my best advice is to be yourself and we will help you find your place. Our motto in Middle School is ‘Kindness & Compassion; Tolerance & Inclusion’ and we try to live by this at all times.
Bold beginnings start here.
Ms Redman, Assistant Head — Middle School
WELCOME FROM THE HEAD
I am delighted that you will be joining our Thirds in September.
We are busy preparing to make sure that your first few days, weeks and months are as enjoyable as possible, and that they set you on a path of adventure that lasts throughout your time with us.
Starting Senior School is an exciting time full of anticipation, but we know it can also feel a little bit daunting as you become familiar with your new surroundings, meet your new teachers and build new friendships. We understand it’s a big moment for you, and all of your teachers, as well as our older pupils – especially your Buddy Family and Thirds’ Mentor – are on hand to help you find your way around and to answer any questions you may have.
I really hope you enjoy your time at LEH Senior School, and that you make the most of all the opportunities you will have to try something new and different. We want you to feel supported, to be brave and bold, and to discover new passions and all the things that make you uniquely brilliant!
I’m looking forward to getting to know you and to seeing all that you will achieve.
Mrs Cole, Head
Welcome to LEH! We are so excited that you have decided to become part of our LEH community and we are really looking forward to getting to know you. Your first year will be filled with a lot of exciting new things: new friendships, inspiring lessons, and a huge range of activities to participate in.
It is likely that there will be things about life at LEH that will be different to your Junior School, and that’s ok. You will have a wonderful team of teachers and tutors who will help you settle in and feel at home. As well as this, I am always happy for you to pop in to see me and ask any questions or just talk things through.
Together we can work out solutions to any problems you may have and find the best way to support you.
Our older pupils will be able to tell you how much they enjoyed their first year at LEH; I hope you are ready to follow in their footsteps by throwing caution to the wind, getting involved and having lots of fun!

Brown, Head of Thirds
