Leechpool’s Vision

Breathing Life into Learning … to be the best we can be…

At Leechpool, we are dedicated to creating a vibrant, inclusive, and nurturing environment where every child feels valued, empowered, and ready to thrive. Through a high-quality, innovative curriculum, we inspire curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.

We believe in the power of collaboration and the strength of our learning community, guided by the 6 Rs—Respect, Responsibility, Resourcefulness, Resilience, Reflection, and Risk-taking—which shape our approach to growth and success. We set high expectations for ourselves and others, embracing a growth mindset where perseverance and resilience pave the way for progress.

Central to our vision is wellbeing—we foster an environment where children feel safe, supported, and empowered to be their best selves. We promote empathy, kindness, and emotional resilience, enabling children to develop essential life skills that prepare them not just for the next year group or secondary school, but for adulthood and the challenges of a diverse and evolving world.

We are proud to embed British values—democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect, and tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs—into every aspect of school life. By celebrating our shared cultural heritage and embracing diversity, we help our children develop a strong moral compass and a deep understanding of the values that shape a fair and inclusive society.

Through strong partnerships with families and the wider community, we enrich learning experiences and cultivate a sense of belonging. Together, we nurture confident, compassionate, and responsible citizens who are ready to embrace their future.
