Learning is a life long process. The love of learning is our most important gift to our children. It will help them prepare for change and give them vital skills to adapt. |

boarding
|
|
| Boarders love boarding at Leaden Hall. The younger girls up to Year 5 live in the main house in cosy attic dorms and the Year 6 girls have their own cottage close by in De Vaux Place. We have full boarders, weekly boarders and some girls just stay a few nights a week. We even have daygirls who board at weekends just for fun! |

Virtually every term theChildren leave the classroom to extend their knowledge of the outside world. Salisbury is the centre of some of the most historic sights in the country. The trips include Stonehenge, Rockbourne Roman Villa, Fishbourne Roman Palace, Old Sarum and our own cathedral. Further afield the girls travel to London, Hampton Court and Bath. Field studies include residential trips to the Isle of Wight and Calshot. |

There is also chance to join our colleagues in their schools and stay in their homes with their families.

community
