Welcome to
NCEA William Leech C OF E Primary
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.”"

Congratulations to everyone in Hild, for turning the house cup blue this year with a fantastic 259 points!
Last term Y5/6 won our first attendance Lego prize. Today in celebration worship they showcased the first creation with their house built on rock... They've challenged this week's winners Y1/2 to make a house built on sand.
Today some of the children celebrated VE Day with the local community at Lynemouth Pavillion. The rest of us waved to the Tiger Moth planes, which treat us to a special flypast.
