A note from our Headteacher
Welcome to William Leech Church of England Primary School
On behalf of the children, staff, and governors. I am delighted to welcome you to William Leech.
William leech is a small mixed aged primary school in the heart of Lynemouth village. Here, we believe in the power of our whole community — building one another up with kindness, respect, and encouragement.
At William Leech, every child is valued as a unique gift from God. We strive to nurture their talents, inspire a love of learning and help them grow, not only academically but also spiritually and personally. Our dedicated staff work together with families and the local church to create a warm, supportive environment where children feel safe to explore, ask questions, and flourish.
Guided by our Trust LIGHT values, we encourage everyone to treat each other with love, compassion and to celebrate the strengths and differences in our school family. Our school vision of “Encourage one another and build each other up” (Thessalonians 5:1) is deeply rooted in all that we do and fosters confidence, resilience, and a deep sense of belonging for all our staff and children.
 Thank you for visiting our website. We warmly invite you to come and see for yourself the vibrant, welcoming community that makes William Leech a special place to learn and grow.
Mrs Heidi Barnes,
Headteacher
"“Encourage one another and build each other up.”"
"“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.”"

Year 6 had a fabulous time harvesting their allotment at the Alnwick Gardens and celebrating another successful year with "Roots and Shoots". We wanted to say a huge thank you to the Alnwick Gardens for the opportunity this year @alnwickcastle
Today was our first "Hot Chocolate Friday". Our fabulous four were chosen for demonstrating LIGHT values and going "above and beyond" all of the time. @NCEAChaplain #hotchocolatefriday
Mrs Barnes had some super helpers during today's worship. They helped introduce this term's worship value. #generosity @NCEAChaplain
Today we welcomed back our wonderful children and what a start to the term it has been! Well done everyone 🌟
Back to school for staff only tomorrow. Please remember the children don't return until Tuesday at 8.30am. We look forward to seeing everyone then!
Celebration Worship today included 'Learners of the Year', 'Headteacher Awards' and our special 'Musician of the Year'. What a fabulous way to end the term!
What a wonderful afternoon of fun and laughter as everyone enjoyed the children vs staff water fight!
Year 6 have had a great day at the farm and have safely arrived at Mounthooley Bunkhouse ready for tea!
Thank you to all our families for coming along to the Summer fair, even the sun made an appearance !
