St. Leonard’s Primary School is a Community Primary School with 233 pupils on roll, currently in its first year of growing from one-form entry to one and a half form, located in Stafford. Our school has been a key part of the local community for many years, with strong links to the wider community. Our pupils are confident and happy, and show respect for one another.
We are now at the stage where we are seeking to appoint a Headteacher who will continue to lead on our improvement journey. Our recent Ofsted inspection in November 2024 indicated that we are a “Good” school for behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision, with “Requires Improvement” for quality of education. Our school moved to its new site, the repurposed Kingston Centre, in September 2023, which has facilitated us to begin on our Forest Schools journey and we are particularly proud of our recent status of Silver achieving of whole school approach to mental health and Silver Rights Respecting UNICEF award.
