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.”"

A huge thank you to Park View for hosting our Year 5 children, who are completing their @ABYyouthtrust Award. They loved hearing stories about how Lynemouth has changed over the years and it has really made us think about what our project could be!
The Cabin @ William Leech is growing!
As we move into the next exciting phase of development, we’re looking to expand our team.
We’re looking for an experienced HLTA & a SEND TA to support children with SEMH needs in our small, nurturing setting.

Some 'alien soup' was left in the Y5/6 classroom & the children had to work together to return the soup to its original ingredients: water, paperclips, sand, peppercorns & salt. They used magnets, filter paper, sieves and finally evaporation, to help them separate them.
Darts club is off to a flying start! Well done everyone.
As we begin a fresh new half term, we have started our new Collective Worship theme of 'forgiveness'. Our big question this week is; "Why it is important for us to forgive others and how can it helps us to start a fresh inside?"
Year 5 are currently completing their Archbishops' Young Leaders Award. @NSforEducation
