iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).I would like to welcome you to St.Leonard's C.E. Primary School. Here at St.Leonard's we pride ourselves on being a family. We have a strong belief in our partnership between home and school. This website is intended to introduce our school to you, providing you with information regarding our aims, administration and general organisation.
The information should answer any immediate questions and offer details which should prove helpful throughout the academic year. With God's help, we will be inclusive, independent, inquiring and inspirational. We are extremely proud of our school family and our vision and ethos reflect this. Our achievements at school range from academic success to a variety of sporting awards.
Most importantly we are proud of our children who leave our school confident, well rounded members of society ready to go to High School and contribute to the wider world. This is all achieved through our excellent relationship with our parents and Parish community.
