Music for a Summer's Evening is an informal al fresco music event on Grove Field. It is enjoyed annually by the Leighton Park community to celebrate the musical talents of our wonderful students and relax with friends over food.

Even if you are not able to stay for the entire time, please do come along for as much of the event as your other commitments allow.

You are welcome to bring a picnic, comfortable picnic chairs or rugs and warm layers if it is forecast to be chilly.

There will also be the option to purchase food and drinks if you would prefer. 

No RSVP required.

New boarders are welcome to arrive at Leighton Park from 4.00pm.

We are unable to accommodate early arrivals due to staff availability.

Students should go directly to either Reckitt House (Senior Girls’ Boarding House) or School House (Senior Boys’ Boarding House) where they will be welcomed by the House Team and shown to their rooms.

There will be a welcome tea for students, parents and guardians in Oakview from 6.00pm.

The first day for new students will be Newcomers’ Day on Thursday 3rd September. Students should arrive at 9.15am at Michael Malnick Centre and come dressed in Collect Dress.

During Newcomers’ Day, students will meet their tutors, be issued with their IT log ins, be given an induction to our online resources, explore the Park with our Sixth Form prefects and enjoy some fun activities with new friends across students and staff.
