Our Community

Leagrave Primary is a multi-cultural and multi-lingual community. At our school we aim to enable pupils to make the right choices in order to become good citizens and life-long learners.

Best Possible Start To The School Journey

The school was graded as ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted in December 2018. “Pupils thrive in all aspects of their academic, personal, social and emotional development.” We want all our children to be successful, confident and responsible individuals. We aim to provide high quality and varied learning opportunities in a safe, caring environment. We believe that all children should reach their potential in all areas of the curriculum, making or exceeding the expected progress across the primary phase.
