SCHOOL CHRISTIAN VISION
'Everything you do, do in love.'
At St Andrew’s, we seek to be a safe and happy environment, inspiring our school family to be positive participants in the world community. A place where we are all encouraged, through love and service, to be the very best.
'Love one another, as I have loved you.'
John 13:34
Our vision is underpinned by our twelve Christian Values, which we aim to promote and live out via our curriculum, Collective Worship and through personal and social development.

ABOUT THE SCHOOL
St. Andrew’s is a Church of England Primary School situated in the pleasant village of Leasingham. There are extensive grounds providing a large playground and playing fields for the children. We have seven permanent classrooms, as well as a dedicated Computing Hub and additional teaching spaces for small group work. There is a large hall that is used for collective worship, lunches and P.E./Games sessions.
The school was built in 1971 and the Governors have overseen extensive remodelling of the interior with a rolling redecoration programme. Recent improvements include the creation of a superb outdoor classroom for all the children and the development of the outside learning environment.In 2025, a new extension to the school will be completed, which will house and additional classroom as well as our externally-operated wrap around care service.
We currently have single age groups in all classes throughout the school and provide additional classroom support in all key stages.
We are able to offer a full range of after school clubs, which are very popular with the children. They can choose from a variety of clubs throughout the year including football, multiskills, cricket, rounders, Lego, choir and gardening to name a few.
At St Andrew’s, we are very proud of our staff, both teaching and non-teaching. Together, everyone works hard to provide an exciting, caring environment where each child will be given the opportunity to achieve their very best.
Recognising its historic foundation, the school continues to preserve and develop its religious character in accordance with the principles of the Church of England and in partnership with the Church at Parish and Diocesan level. There are regular visits from the vicar of St Andrew’s and the children enjoy their trips to church.
The school aims to serve its community by providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practice. It encourages an understanding of the meaning and significance of faith and promotes our Christian values through the experience it offers to all its pupils.
