Hello from the Headteacher
I am very proud to be the Executive Headteacher of Leighterton Primary School, a happy learning environment with a dedicated team of staff and governors, where the wellbeing and progress of every child are central.
I passionately believe that school should be an exciting, engaging and safe place to learn, filled with positive relationships and a sense of optimism; every child has the right to a good education and to be encouraged to be the very best that they can be. I am committed to ensuring that this is reflected in effective teaching and learning practices throughout our school. Education at Leighterton Primary School is about fostering in children a lifelong love of learning, as well as helping them to develop into resilient, reflective and responsible individuals with high self-esteem.
We have wonderful school grounds with lots of space in an idyllic setting. As a small, nurturing village school, all staff have a personal knowledge of every child and we have close relationships with our families. Many children attending our school come from families who have a long association with us, some as pupils themselves. Our links with the Leighterton community and beyond enrich our children’s lives in many ways.
At Leighterton Primary School, our academic year is filled with stimulating and enriching learning opportunities, as well as celebrations of our achievements and successes. We aim to work in close partnership with parents and the local community to ensure that every child is a happy and successful learner.
I hope that this website helps you to gain an insight into our aims, values and organisation.
