 Leven C of E (VC) Primary School...

Originally built in 1866 as the Leven Girls' School, the current village Primary school has undergone numerous improvement projects over the years to keep up with the expansion of the village population and with the technological revolution. 


 

 

The school serves the parishes of Leven and Catwick, and there are currently 180 children on the roll, but this is expected to rise with the planned housing developments in the village.  

 

In May 2002 the school underwent another re-modelling project, in which an extra classroom was created, enabling the school to develop its ICT facilities. There are currently five classrooms, an ICT suite, library, staff room, office suite, kitchen and two halls. A low-level adventure area has also been created recently, thanks to donations from the Parish Council, the PTFA and a Hornsea based business.

 

 

 

   

 

In 2005, the school underwent yet another new build expansion project which provided the school with a new hall and kitchen, new car parking facilities and a new playground sited at the rear of the school. 

 

The interior of the school was also re-modelled and refurbished providing a new office, staff facilities, store rooms, library and disabled toilets.

The school has a staff of thirty (full & part-time), including teachers, teaching assistants administration staff, kitchen staff, Midday Supervisors, a caretaker and a cleaner.  

  

They are supported by an enthusiastic governing body and a hard working (PTFA). The school is also responsible for the management of the school kitchen, which also provides a valuable service to our school community. The school buildings are often used in the evenings for Adult Education classes as well as Parish Council meetings.

 

 

 

Extra-curricular activities include ICT, guitar, recorder, hockey, athletics, netball, football, science and maths, and each term, 'themed curriculum weeks' are held, which are the focus of hall and corridor displays. 

 

The school has close links to the local Anglican Church.

 

 

 

School Achievements 

During the summer of 2009, the school was presented with the Basic Skills Quality Mark for the fourth time, which reflects the hard work of the teaching staff and their positive attitude to both Numeracy and Literacy.

 

In December 2008 the school were awarded the Healthy Schools award for the quality of its PE, PSHCE and pastoral care.

 

Since then, the school have notched up further awards including the Sport England Activemark, in recognition of PE and sports provision.  

 

The school was inspected by OFSTED in May 2009 and was shown to have made significant improvements since the last inspection in 2006.

 

The school was also inspected by the Diocese in June 2009 and was deemed to be a good Church school.
