We are delighted to be able to welcome you to our brand new school website!  Although we know it has taken a while to update, we are sure that you will find the new site easy to navigate and the simple layout will mean that it can be frequently updated in school by our pupils! 

At Chapel St Leonards Primary School we take pride in the fact that our children come bouncing in through the door every morning, bright and breezy and ready to learn.  Our children enjoy coming to school and our school is a happy, friendly and welcoming place where children not only work hard and learn something new every single day, but where parents feel that our staff are approachable and work in partnership with us to ensure the best for the children.  We sincerely keep the children at the heart of everything we do - we work hard to ensure that we cater for the individual needs of each and every child in our school and that we push every one to ensure that they achieve their full potential.  We value all achievements whether they be academic or otherwise and if you visit our school you will see how proud we are of the children's work as we display it all around the school!  Our curriculum is creative and we provide opportunities for our children to learn both inside and outside of the classroom, through written work, number work, art, sports and various topics to ensure that everyone is given the opportunity to shine through something that they enjoy!  Our lessons are practically based and we endeavor to use real objects and to give our children as many opportunities to learn from first hand experience as we can - we enjoy hearing the children say 'WOW!' and we work hard to make sure that they have the opportunity to do so as often as we can!  

We are extremely lucky in our school to have a brilliant staff team that work very hard to ensure that we provide the best learning opportunities that we can for our children and also that we care for them very well during the school day.  Our children feel safe in school and know who to go to if they do have any problems, worries or concerns and that they will be sorted out quickly.  Behaviour around our school is good and our children are very friendly and polite - they know what respect is and demonstrate it in the ways in which they behave around the school.

Our children are wonderful -they make our school the exciting place to learn that it is and we will continue to ensure that our school community is a place that they feel proud  to belong to and have some ownership over - after all, their ideas are usually the best!
