Leighton Middle School

When dropping off or picking up your child from school, can we ask that you are mindful of other road users and not parking on double yellows or blocking access to local businesses.
There are many local areas to park, Tesco, Multi-story, Duncombe Drive that can be used. We do appreciate your support with this and ensuring the safety of our pupils at these busy times. 😃

Art Club has been busy painting and hiding rocks around the school. If you spot any of these return them to Mrs Schofield.

Y8 had a really interesting and thought provoking performance this morning from Alter Ego about county lines. There is a link below to their website if you would like to find out anymore information. There is also a link to the Children's Society page with a guide for parents.

Year Five have been using shoes to help develop their inference skills in English! The children had to try and work out what their character may be like from the shoes that they would wear, a short story extract and a picture of their character! Miss Holmes is very pleased with the children’s imaginative ideas and their perseverance as, at times, the task was quite challenging! 🙌📒
