The foundation years of your child's education are arguably the most critical. Between ages 5-6, children either develop a genuine love for learning that will serve them throughout their academic journey, or they begin to build resistance that can persist for years. At LEO School, we understand this pivotal moment—and we're committed to ensuring every child falls firmly into the first category. The Critical Importance of Key Stage 1 in Child Education Research consistently sh

Spring term arrives with a familiar challenge. After weeks of holiday rest, students face the abrupt return to academic demands. Some dive in with intense motivation that burns out within days. Others struggle to re-engage entirely, spending weeks in a fog before finding their rhythm again. Neither approach serves students well. The students who thrive in spring term aren't necessarily the most motivated or naturally gifted. They're the ones who understand that success isn't

Every year, thousands of teenagers (and their parents!) face the same question: How do we turn good school grades into a real UK university offer? UK University Admissions For LEO School families, the answer is: step-by-step support , from choosing A-Level subjects to pressing “submit” on UCAS – and beyond. Below is a practical guide to the UK application process and how LEO School helps both British and international students navigate it with confidence. Why planning early m

In an increasingly connected world, speaking only one language is becoming a genuine disadvantage. While your child might navigate perfectly well in English today, the cognitive, academic, and career benefits of multilingualism are so substantial that waiting to introduce a second language means missing critical developmental windows. The good news? It's never too late to start, and LEO School has just launched a comprehensive language programme that makes becoming multilingu

Switching from a local school system to British education can feel like jumping onto a moving train. The curriculum is different, the teaching methods are unfamiliar, and the expectations can seem impossible to navigate without help. Many talented students struggle not because they lack ability, but because they haven't had the structured support to make this transition successfully. That's exactly why LEO School created Foundation Year—a preparatory programme specifically de

If you've ever found yourself Googling "how to explain fractions to a 7-year-old" at 8pm on a Tuesday, you're far from alone. Across the UK, thousands of parents are doing exactly the same thing, searching for answers to help their children with homework, understand tricky concepts, and keep up with the National Curriculum. But what are UK parents actually searching for? And more importantly, what do these searches tell us about the challenges families face when it comes to e

Choosing the right education for your child has never been more complex. Traditional schools have served generations of students, and for many families, they remain a solid choice. But when you look beyond the familiar comfort of brick-and-mortar classrooms and examine the actual numbers, a different picture emerges—one that's causing over 112,000 UK families to explore alternative education options. This isn't about declaring one format superior to another. It's about unders

When your child encounters the phrase "Achilles' heel" in a news article or hears someone describe a challenge as "Herculean," do they understand what's really being said? These aren't just colorful expressions. They're cultural markers that separate students who know English from students who truly understand it. English is filled with references to Greek mythology, and these ancient stories continue to shape how we communicate in business, politics, literature, and everyday

The education system wasn't designed for the world our children will inherit. Traditional classrooms were built for an industrial age that no longer exists, preparing students for jobs that are rapidly disappearing and challenges we can't yet imagine. While conventional schools focus on memorizing facts and acing standardized tests, the real question parents should be asking is this: what skills will my child actually need in twenty years? Online education isn't just a conven

"It's raining cats and dogs." "Break a leg." "Spill the beans." If your child looked confused the first time they heard these phrases, they're not alone. English idioms—expressions whose meanings can't be understood from individual words—are everywhere in British education, from IGCSE reading comprehension to A-Level literature analysis.
