Thank you for the interest you have shown in Leavening Community Primary School and Nursery. I would like to offer you a very warm welcome to our school and indeed our website, which will hopefully give you a helpful introduction to our school and a good understanding of its activities, aims and values.
Located on the edge of the beautiful Yorkshire Wolds and within easy reach of Malton, Norton and Stamford Bridge, our school caters for up to 90 pupils aged between 2 and 11. In many ways Leavening is the ideal village school!
Indeed, the phrase 'Small school, big learning' sums up perfectly our aim to combine excellence in learning with a wide variety of opportunities to enrich pupils' childhood. Our school community also shares a deep sense of belonging and we work hard to nurture strong relationships between school and families.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
