iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Welcome to St. Leonard's C of E (A) Primary School & Nursery We are delighted to welcome you to our school family. Tucked away in the beautiful, rural village of Wigginton, St. Leonard's is more than just a place of learning; it is a community where every child is known, nurtured, and celebrated.
As a small, child-focused school, we pride ourselves on creating a safe, supportive environment where children feel truly valued. Our strong Christian ethos guides everything we do, inspiring us all to "Grow in Faith and Learning." While we may be small in size, we do Big things!
From our vibrant classroom life to our many community and extra-curricular adventures, we are always busy exploring and achieving.
Our school is organised into five friendly classes: Robins: Nursery & Reception Kingfishers: Years 1 & 2 Magpies: Years 3 & 4 Hawks: Years 4 & 5 Eagles: Years 5 & 6 We also understand the needs of busy families, which is why our Ospreys Club provides a warm and reliable "wrap-around" service from 7:30am until 5:10pm. We hope you find everything you need on our website.
