Turning potential into success
Hidden Gem
Our school, set in 7 acres, sits above the Plym Valley and has fantastic views to the south. It is located in the centre of the community of Leigham and is only 5 minutes from the A38.
The grounds are beautifully maintained and offer great facilities for outdoor learning, sports and playtime. The main sports field hosts a range of sports and has an 80 metre running track with a 300 metre track around the outside.
The vegetable garden, the pond and the chicken run are all popular and looked after by our children, so there is always plenty to do and lots of fun to be had.
Learning
We are a well-resourced school with a high level of adult support in order to facilitate our drive for excellence and high aspirations for each pupil. All our staff endeavour to ensure that the educational experiences for our pupils are inspiring and appropriate. Children are encouraged to be active learners and curious about the world around them. Pupil voice plays a large part in planning. As well as ensuring excellent grounding in the basics of literacy and numeracy, a key focus is to develop pupils as learners.
Learning experiences are designed so that each child is fully aware of their successes and next steps in learning and are able to develop at their own personal rate. A real ownership over learning is fostered and nurtured. This, combined with an exciting and relevant curriculum, means that pupils are enthused and positive about their learning experiences.
Everyone Cares, Everyone Matters
The school building is on one level with easy access for wheelchairs and we have disabled toilet facilities. Provision for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and those who are gifted or talented, is tailored to their needs and aspirations. The individual nature and talents of every child are recognised and valued. We believe that diversity is a strength which we should celebrate and respect
The environment created at the school is safe and welcoming with the values embedded into the culture. You can see the pride the staff have to work there and are always very approachable. This has allowed my daughter to thrive.
I really value the care and support in place for my children. The staff teamwork works incredibly hard and this is noticeable in all that they do. It is clear that the school go above and beyond to provide education and opportunities for the children.
