Northwick Park Primary Academy Trust's vision is to develop well-rounded, confident, creative, responsible, resilient pupils who aspire to succeed. Leigh Beck Infant School started life in 1932 and split into separate Infant and Junior schools in 1969.
The Infant school retained the attractive 1930s building and is situated in pleasant grounds with a parents waiting area and garden. We are a large Infant school with 3 classes per year group and a Nursery. We are now a Sponsored Academy School and part of the Northwick Park Multi Academy Trust.
If you have a child starting school in September 2026, please phone us to arrange a time and date to visit us and tour our lovely school.
