Welcome to St Leonard's C.E. First School

Welcome to St Leonard's I would like to offer you a warm welcome to St. Leonard's C.E. First School, Ipstones on behalf of all of our talented staff here. We are a small, child-centred, inclusive school where all children are nurtured and valued as a school family to grow and flourish in wisdom and spirituality.

We are committed to developing children as confident and courageous advocates who use their talents to be beacons of light to shine in the world. Our values are the bright flame within our ethos, culture and curriculum.

We are proud at St. Leonard’s to be able to offer a wealth of opportunities to every child by providing a friendly and caring community where staff, pupils and parents all work together to provide an environment where every child is able to fulfil their potential. Children here enjoy the wide variety of academic, artistic, sporting and community activities that take place on a regular basis that help make St. Leonard’s a vibrant educational establishment and a very happy school.

In addition to the organised days we invite you to visit our school, to meet the staff and pupils and see the friendly and caring environment we have here.

We very much look forward to meeting and welcoming you into our school.

Goldilocks

by Stephen Tucker

This book is a fun, colourful and exciting retelling of a classic story, with a fantastic modern twist. In Stephen Tucker’s Goldilocks, our favourite character doesn’t just explore the Three Bears’ house - she is also confident, creative and loves to be unique, which helps to help remind children that it’s wonderful to be yourself.

Goldilocks’ bright, bold style matches the lively rhyming text and the cheerful illustrations by Nick Sharratt.

I think children will love this fun and vibrant version of Goldilocks, especially her unique sense of style. I hope everyone gets the chance to enjoy it!
