Start the year as strangers… end it as family…

Here at LEH Foshan, we aim to make learning exciting, fun and motivating for all our pupils – as well as enhancing our teachers’ enthusiasm and passion for teaching. We want our pupils to see learning as holistic and interwoven, which leads towards mastery and deeper understanding of the world around them....We encourage our students to be exactly who they are, whatever their current interests or future aspirations. They will benefit from the warmth, respect, and support of the entire School community as they stretch themselves to become their best, most confident selves, as pupils, students, and as citizens of the world. To have the freedom to experiment, express opinions, explore and take on new challenges. To be supported by strong role models and be inspired by their peers. To find the confidence and be able to acquire and build the skills they need to succeed throughout their lives.

We are a British international school that whilst being contemporary is firmly in the tradition of our sister school in the UK. We share its exemplary standards of achievement, care and governance and enjoy all the advantages of our location. We encourage our students to combine academic excellence with integrity, confidence, courage, and conviction; to exemplify the school motto, Spes Audacem Adjuvat (Hope Favours the Bold).

In addition to achieving academic success, we encourage students to commit to finding a deeper level purpose that transforms society in a meaningful way. We offer all our students with a highly dynamic, progressive, and personalised learning programme and provide consistency of curriculum and learning between different classes in any year group with appropriate vertical articulation and through providing appropriate overall information on the academic performance of the school. We ensure appropriate support and challenge for all students in identifying their interests and talents, and maintain extensive communication to parents on overall and specific curriculum planning, learning objectives and appropriate feedback on individual student progress, whilst concurrently ensuring that a “listening culture” permeates all that we do.

LEH Foshan is an outstanding school where each student’s happiness, well-being and success is paramount. By focussing on the individual, we aim to instil into each student the belief that they can achieve anything. Academic standards are high, and we are proud of the fact that when our Year 6 pupils are ready to move up to our Senior School, they take with them a set of skills and core values that will enable them to embark on the next stage of their educational journey confidently and courageously.

Our own Prep School site provides a friendly, safe and nurturing environment for the pupils and we are fortunate to share the excellent facilities at our Senior School, including the sports fields and courts, swimming pool and theatre. A busy extra-curricular and fixtures programme provides interesting opportunities to learn something new, develop talents or simply spend time having fun with friends. 

To meet our friendly team of staff and pupils and to learn more about life at LEH Foshan Prep School please book a visit at one of our Open Mornings.

I look forward to welcoming you.
Ms Mandy Bateman
Head of Prep
