Keeping Our Children Safe

At Leigh St Mary’s Church of England Primary School, the well-being and safety of our school community are at the heart of everything we do. We are dedicated to creating a secure, joyful and positive environment that nurtures the growth and well-being of our pupils.

Our commitment to safeguarding is unwavering and we prioritise the safety, happiness, and positive development of each child within our school community. We strive to ensure that every individual feels safe, nurtured, and secure, promoting an atmosphere where children can thrive academically, emotionally and socially.
