Music is an integral part of worship in the Chapel and the Chapel Choir sings at most of the services including at a number of Sunday services each term including Harvest, Remembrance, Advent, the Carol Services, Epiphany and the Leavers’ Service at the end of the year. Years 7 and 8 (Moulton House) have their own choir known as Junior Voices and occasionally join the main Chapel Choir for special occasions. The Chapel Choir is active beyond the school and has sung at numerous Cambridge Colleges and cathedrals including Trinity College, Cambridge and St. Paul’s Cathedral, London. Various recordings have been made, most recently the CD release of ‘Earthly and Divine’ in 2019 by the Chamber Choir which includes a setting of ‘I wandered lonely as a cloud’, a commission by composer Rebecca Dale. Choral Scholarships are available and further information can be found here.

Every academic year, a member of the Upper Sixth is elected to be Chapel Prefect. Working with the School Chaplain at regular services and others such as Harvest Festival and the Service of Remembrance, the Chapel Prefect has to ensure that the Chapel is ready, with hymn books and orders of service in place, candles lit and Chapel Stewards ready. The Chapel Prefect’s role also involves helping to organise the Lenten Appeal, the school’s annual charity project.

The Leys actively participates in WorldAIMS (Action In Methodist Schools), which is a partnership between Methodist Education and the Methodist Church. At present, groups of pupils are focusing their efforts tackling broad sustainability issues, through Eco-Schools, as well as promoting Fairtrade.
