"A warm and welcoming school"

My child has started this year and we're already feeling so at home here. The teachers are great and the facilities are excellent, especially the reading corner and school meals. We love how the school values the importance of spirituality and character development. My child is happy and thriving, so we're very grateful for the care they're receiving.

"Best school my child has ever been to"

We've been at William Leech for 3 years now and I couldn't be happier with the care and education they're receiving. The values of kindness, compassion and respect are truly ingrained in the children and I love how they encourage a love of learning. My child has grown so much since joining and I'm so grateful to be part of this school community.

"Some concerns about bullying"

Generally, we've been pleased with our experience at William Leech, but we've had some issues with bullying this year. The school has been working to address it, but it's been a bit of a struggle for my child. The staff are lovely and the facilities are great, but I do wish they'd take a firmer stance on bullying. Hopefully, this will improve in the future.

"Wonderful school and community"

We moved away but my son still talks about his time at William Leech with such fondness. The staff were always approachable and supportive, and the small class sizes really helped him thrive. We loved the collective worship and the way the school encouraged the children to be their best selves. We'd highly recommend it to any family.
