Welcome to Leighswood School — a truly special place where every child is known, valued and nurtured.

We are a warm and welcoming two-form entry primary school, proudly supporting children from the age of 2 through to 11. With over 450 pupils, we offer a strong and caring community where children grow, learn and thrive every step of the way.

Our early years provision supports children from their very first steps into education, with a 45-place Nursery and a pre-school offering Government-funded 15 and 30 hours of free childcare, alongside additional 30-hour places for working families and self-funded options.

Serving the communities of Aldridge and Walsall, we are proud to support every child on their journey from those early beginnings right through to the end of primary school, helping them become happy, confident learners.

  At Leighswood School, we believe in creating a place where everyone feels safe, happy and inspired — a school where children and adults truly flourish and thrive. We are proud to support every child to feel confident, valued and proud of who they are and all they achieve, always guided by our shared values of being ready, respectful and safe.

Our approach is centred around each child as an individual, helping them to thrive not only academically but also in their confidence, wellbeing and life skills. From their very first steps into education right through to the end of Year 6, we nurture curiosity, resilience and a life-long love of learning. We are proud of our rich outdoor learning and forest school experiences, which help children explore the world around them, understand their place within it and develop a strong sense of belonging.

In the classroom, children are encouraged to understand how they learn best, giving them the confidence to take an active role in their own journey and truly thrive. Every day, they are supported to grow, reflect and be proud of their progress — always asking themselves: what have I done today to make myself proud?

As part of the Cadmus Federation, we are proud to work alongside other schools, continuing to grow and thrive together as a wider community. Leighswood is a warm, caring and forward-looking school with strong values at its heart — and we can’t wait to welcome you into our school family.
