Proud of Our Ofsted Report
At Leigham Primary School, we are delighted to share the outcome of our latest Ofsted inspection. The report celebrates our strong sense of community, high standards of teaching, and the positive, nurturing environment we create for all our pupils. Inspectors praised our dedicated staff and the way we support every child to thrive both academically and personally.
The environment created at the school is safe and welcoming with the values embedded into the culture. You can see the pride the staff have to work there and are always very approachable. This has allowed my daughter to thrive.
I am so glad my children are with you. I think the SLT are wonderful, approachable and involved in the children's journey. I love that they are out every morning and after school.
