Hind Leys is a successful specialist arts college serving the towns of Shepshed, Castle Donington, Kegworth and some surrounding villages. Upper school students join at age 14, mostly from two local high schools.

Hind Leys also provides evening courses which are offered in the Community Class Programme, houses a busy theatre, and has a community swimming pool on site.

The Hind Leys Gallery has now been renamed The Mark Parker Gallery in memory of a Hind Leys teacher who sadly passed away at Christmas 2009. The Gallery opening hours are now Monday, 2.00pm-5.00pm and Tuesday-Friday, 2.00pm-9.00pm
