Leanne was educated at the Oratory School in London and went on to study music at Royal Holloway, University of London where she held a choral scholarship.
After spending some time as a teaching assistant in the state sector, Leanne gained Qualified Teacher Status in 2008 in the Prep School age range, with specialisms in music and French. Since then Leanne has spent six years teaching Junior Subjects at Sunningdale School in Ascot and ten years at Wellesley House in Kent as the Head of Boarding (amongst other responsibilities). She joined the staff at OPS in 2024.
Leanne lives at the OPS with her husband and two children. As a family they love holidaying in the alps, country walks with the dog and swimming. Leanne also loves to bake, and ran a wedding cake company part time for many years before the demands of running a full boarding house took over.
