iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Welcome to Leesland Church of England Federation. I am delighted to welcome you to Leesland C of E Federation of Infant and Junior Schools. Our two schools are on adjacent sites in the heart of Gosport with extensive grounds and a very well resourced environment.
Working closely together under the leadership of a forward thinking Senior Leadership Team and one governing body, the schools are well placed to offer our children high quality teaching and learning experiences to develop a love of learning and an enquiring mind. As a Church of England Federation, Christian values unpin all that we do.
We provide a stimulating learning environment based on the Christian values of Love, Grace and Respect. As Executive Head Teacher I feel privileged to work alongside a fantastic team of teachers, learning support assistants and a range of other support staff. Whilst looking at our website I am confident you will also see how fortunate I am to work with so many amazing children.
At Leesland, we very much value the partnership between home and school. We believe that by working together we can ensure your children develop enquiring minds and a love of learning, whilst also becoming confident and well-rounded individuals, able to meet the challenges and opportunities of the future.
