At Leigh St Mary's Church of England Primary School, we promote a life-long love of learning.
Through enriching, exciting learning opportunities and a creative curriculum, children are given the foundations to flourish. Our Christian values are at the heart of our school and provide us with a culture of happiness, respect and trust. We aim to promote a sense of belonging within a warm, nurturing environment where children feel safe and valued.
We celebrate cultural diversity and believe that every child should have the opportunity to be the best that they can be. Through our encouragement of good manners, kindness and friendship we aim to ensure our children display the values of good citizenship.
We hope to instil in our children an 'I can' attitude and to provide our children with the tools to succeed in an ever changing world.
