The LEIGH Academy Rainham
LEARNER

The LEIGH Learner Attributes

The LEIGH Learner attributes are underpinned by the IB learner Profile. 

Throughout all aspects of Academy life we will provide opportunities for our students to grow into diverse  individuals who embrace and master the LEIGH Learner attributes, preparing them to be highly successful in their career paths beyond the Academy. 

We expect that students become highly knowledgeable and reflective, with a thirst for learning across a range of subjects, excelling in the disciplines that they are truly passionate about for example the Sciences, Arts or Sports. 

Students are expected to play an active role in creating a caring, open minded community within which diversity is embraced, success is celebrated and respect and integrity are modelled at all times.
