About this school — Lekki Sunnyfields International School
Lekki Sunnyfields International is one of the older mid-market British-curriculum schools in Lekki Phase 1 — founded 2004, before the neighbourhood filled out with the current generation of newer alternatives. That timing matters: Sunnyfields has 20 years of continuous operation, established Old Sunnyfielder alumni, and a settled teaching cohort. It runs a British curriculum with WAEC parallel certification at senior secondary — an unusual choice that lets families keep options open for both Nigerian and international university pathways. Optional IGCSE is offered from SS1 for internationally-directed pupils. The school's roll of ~700 across primary and secondary is smaller than Chrisland Lekki but broader than boutique Island schools like Whitesands. Positioned as the "settled" option in the Lekki mid-market — less new than Meadow Hall or Wellington, less prestigious than LBS or Grange, but with a track record that many other Tier 3 schools cannot match.
Sunnyfields admits via entrance assessment held quarterly. Reception is play-based; Year 1 upwards include English and Mathematics papers. Application fee is ₦25,000 non-refundable.
Tuition is only part of the bill. Here's what families actually pay:
School bus₦200,000–₦400,000/yr
Uniform₦60,000–₦110,000
Books + WAEC₦80,000–₦200,000/yr
Lunch₦180,000–₦280,000/yr
ECAs and trips₦40,000–₦120,000/yr
Campus & facilities
The 3-acre Lekki campus has primary and secondary blocks, three science labs, a 200-seat hall, a sports court, a small swimming pool, and a 5,000-volume library. The campus operates with grid + generator + inverter.
No — Sunnyfields offers WAEC with optional IGCSE at SS3. Leavers wanting A-Levels transfer to Bridge House or LBS Sixth Form.
Sunnyfields runs WAEC as the default certification because most of its parent base wants Nigerian-university-eligible credentials plus international options. Optional IGCSE at SS1-SS3 layers on top for internationally-directed pupils. Roughly 30-40% of the SS3 cohort sit both.
Yes — day only. There is no boarding facility.
Very strong — Sunnyfields WAEC pass rates (typically 90-95% credit-pass in core subjects) are competitive with Chrisland Lekki and above most Tier 3 Nigerian-curriculum schools despite the "international" positioning.
Solid — typically 88%+ A1–C6 across cohort. Maths and Sciences average higher (often 92%+ credit grades) than Humanities.
No — the school finishes at SS3 (Year 11 equivalent). Sixth Form-bound pupils transfer to LBS, BIS, Bridge House, or UK Sixth Form colleges. Some choose to sit A-Levels via external centres.
Football, basketball, swimming (PE), table tennis, and athletics. The school participates in inter-school competitions in the Lagos schools league.
Settled and low-drama. Sunnyfields has fewer of the marketing-and-Instagram cycles that some newer Lekki schools go through. The trade-off is a less visible external profile — families who want an "aspirational" brand often look at Meadow Hall or Wellington instead.
Capped at 25 in primary and 22 in secondary. The school runs parallel classes at most year groups.
Moderately. Reception intakes typically have ~120 applicants for 40 places. Year 7 has ~80 for 40. Not as oversubscribed as LBS or Chrisland Lekki but not walk-in either.
