This is a rare and exciting opportunity to lead a distinctive, highly regarded and inclusive community primary school at the heart of a unique service and civilian community.
Leeming RAF Community Primary School, cited behind the wire of a military base, serves children from Service families and the local area, creating a richly diverse and dynamic context in which every child is known, valued and supported. The school is proud of its strong values, exceptional pastoral care and an ambitious, thoughtfully designed curriculum rooted in Knowing, Becoming and Feeling. Leeming has a clear moral purpose, captured in its shared values: “We care. We respect. We do our best.”, and the vision of “Inspiring Excellence” within and beyond our community. These values are lived daily by pupils, staff and leaders, shaping behaviour, learning and relationships across the school community. The school has a significantly above average SEND need and very high mobility, leading to a dynamic and ever-changing environment.
