Our Vision and Values

At Leechpool Primary School, we want every child to belong, achieve and thrive.

We are an inclusive and ambitious school where every child is encouraged to believe in themselves, embrace opportunities and develop the knowledge, skills and confidence they need for their future.

Our three values – Empower, Enrich and Elevate – are at the heart of life at Leechpool. They shape how we learn, how we treat one another and how we grow together as a school community.

The Leechpool Way brings our values to life. It sets out the behaviours, attitudes and expectations that help everyone in our school community to learn, grow and succeed.

Empower

We empower ourselves and others by:

Being ready to learn.
Having a positive attitude and believing in ourselves.
Using our Zones of Regulation tools to help us be ready to learn.
Taking responsibility for our choices and actions.
Having the confidence to ask for help and support others.

Enrich

We enrich our school community by:

Showing kindness, respect and inclusion.
Working together and valuing everyone's ideas.
Looking after our environment and resources.
Celebrating differences and learning from one another.
Making our classrooms positive places to learn.

Elevate

We elevate ourselves every day by:

Trying our best and never giving up.
Challenging ourselves and aiming high.
Learning from mistakes and reflecting on our choices.
Taking pride in our work and behaviour.
Striving to improve every day.

The Leechpool Promise

Our Promise is a simple commitment that brings together what it means to be part of Leechpool.

Empower ourselves and each other.
Enrich our learning and community.
Elevate ourselves to be the very best we can be.

Belonging at Leechpool

Underpinning everything we do is a strong sense of belonging.

We want every child to feel safe, known, valued and included. Positive relationships, wellbeing and inclusion are central to our school. We celebrate individuality and difference and teach children to show kindness, respect and empathy towards others.

We want children to develop their own voice while understanding the importance of listening to and respecting others. Through school life and our curriculum, children learn about democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs, preparing them to play a positive role in modern Britain.

Preparing Children for Life

Our responsibility goes beyond academic achievement.

Alongside strong foundations in reading, writing, mathematics and the wider curriculum, we want all children to be ready with the personal, social and practical skills they need for their next steps and for life beyond school.

Through our curriculum and Learning for Life opportunities, children develop independence, communication, teamwork, citizenship, financial awareness, creativity, problem-solving and responsibility.

We provide opportunities that broaden children's horizons, help them discover their strengths and interests, and encourage them to be curious about the world around them.

Above all, we want every child to be confident in who they are, proud of what they have achieved and excited about what they can achieve next.
