About

Our goal is to empower each and every one of our learners with the skills and mindset to thrive and positively embrace the challenges of our changing world with humility and compassion. We would like to thank you for your interest and welcome you to our website. We are a school where children can enjoy learning and where achievement in all aspects of life is celebrated.

We help our pupils to show empathy, integrity and responsibility. Here at West Leigh Junior School we provide the environment, expertise and resources to allow this to happen. The school is fortunate in having a well-qualified, experienced, committed and enthusiastic staff and with parental support and co-operation, our children are happy and successful here.

As primary specialists, Portico Academy Trust firmly believes that all our children, no matter their background, deserve the very best education, every day, every lesson, whatever the context.

Through close professional collaboration and sharing best practice, initiatives and expertise, we want every child to experience a breadth of opportunity across the diverse cultural background of our country.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
