Leeson House Field Studies Centre Dorset

What makes us a great choice for education?

Leeson House is beautiful, inspiring and historic. It is set in gorgeous Dorset countryside within easy distance of many of the prime locations for field trips in the country. As one of our customers puts it:

Thank you for an excellent A Level Biology course. The organisation meant that we fitted a huge amount into the two and a half days and the excellent tuition ensured our students got the maximum benefit from it all. The accommodation was excellent - very clean and comfortable, with plenty of space and the food was very much appreciated by all as it was fresh and varied and very good. Our students hugely enjoyed the whole experience
