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.”"

Thank you Mr Kennedy, our fabulous Caretaker who created our very own "Book Nook". It has been such a pleasure to watch children come and go, whilst enjoying a moment of stillness with the suggested reads our Y5/6 children left for everyone to enjoy. @NCEA_Trust @NCEAChaplain
Welcome back to school everyone and happy 2026 to all of our families.
Our new worship theme this half term is "courage" and our Light Leaders have been helping us to to think about what courage means. #buildingeachotherup #strongertogether @NCEA_Trust @NCEAChaplain

Dr Porter's Ukulele band gave a superb performance of Jingle Bells this morning and were really excited to receive their own ukulele to take home to practise.
