St. Leonard’s in St. Andrews

[Natj1]

Hi
We are relocating to St. Andrews and looking at the schools available for my girls. Both at in junior school and wonder if anyone has any experience with st Leonard’s in St. Andrews and if they would recommend the school?

Would absolutely not recommend St Leonards - we had a very poor experience at the junior school which has undergone leadership changes and not for the better. There is a real difference in academic standards to what you are probably used to at independent schools elsewhere and the lack of discipline is shocking. Teaching staff generally unimpressive with a couple of exceptions (who interestingly are not in leadership positions) & a distinct lack of will to do a good job & actively respond to concerns. The senior school is supposed to be better but that’s potentially years of a poor experience until then.
