St. Leonard’s C of E (A) Primary School is a Church of England Aided School and Nursery situated in a picturesque rural location in the village of Wigginton, to the North of Tamworth.
It is a small, child-friendly school where everyone is committed to ensuring that all our children feel safe and valued so that they can learn and grow as individuals within our school family. This year there are 5 classes: Robins (Nursery and Reception); Kingfishers (Year 1 and 2); Owls (Year 3); Kestrels (Year 4) and Falcons (Years 5 and 6).
Our strong Christian ethos underpins everything we do and everyone associated with our school is committed to helping our children ‘Grow in Faith and Learning’.
Although we are a small school, we do BIG things and we love to get involved in lots of extra curricular activities both within our school and in the community. We also provide full wrap around care for children in our Ospreys before and After School Club from 7:30am until 5:10pm.
