Extracurricular Activities at Lady Elizabeth School

House System

At Lady Elizabeth School (LES), students are divided into four houses: Woburn (blue), Chatsworth (green), Longleat (yellow), and Marlborough (red). Throughout their school years, students earn points for good behavior, care for others, initiative, and academic performance. The house tradition fosters a sense of belonging and loyalty. Many sports and charity events are organized within the houses, giving students of all ages the opportunity to work together as a team.

Charity at Lady Elizabeth School

Students at Lady Elizabeth School support local and international charities through the house system. They decide which causes to support and organize fundraising events, ranging from whole-school initiatives to individual efforts. This year, primary students at Lady Elizabeth School raised money for the British Legion, Save the Children, and Street Child United. During the “Cumbre Carnival,” they also contributed to three charities: Senegal Wells, the Makame Animal Shelter, and the Gandia Preventorium.

The school’s Leo Club, established in 2007, was the first Leo Club in Spain. It is run exclusively by students from Year 7 to Year 13, who organize events and decide which organizations to donate to. Each year, they elect a president, treasurer, secretary, and committee.
