At Balderstone St Leonard's CE Primary School, our Christian vision inspires us to grow in faith, wisdom and compassion through a love of God, a love of each other and a love of learning. Rooted in our strong partnership with St Leonard's Church and the wider community, we provide opportunities for children to live out our vision every day.

Through worship, service, courageous advocacy and community partnerships, our children learn the importance of kindness, responsibility, respect and compassion. We encourage all members of our school family to flourish spiritually, socially and emotionally whilst making a positive difference to the world around them.

Our children actively contribute to school and community life through leadership groups, charity work, worship, environmental projects and partnerships with local families, church members and organisations. Together, we seek to shine as ‘salt and light’ within our community.

Inspired by Jesus’ teaching:

“Love the Lord your God… and love your neighbour as yourself.”
— Matthew 22:37–39

we aim to nurture children who are confident, compassionate and ready to serve others with courage and hope.
