St Leonard’s is a small church school situated in the small village of Dunston, Stafford.  The school was built in 1862 and has had several extensions over the years and now compromises of a main building and two mobiles which has classes from Nursery through to Year 4.  We also have excellent links with Penkridge and Brewood Middle Schools to ensure continuity of education for all our children.  The school prides itself that it is very much part of the community and links with St Leonard’s church are strong.  The school draws from a wide catchment area and all are welcome.

Our vision:

Love is at the heart of our school, our love of learning, God, ourselves, and others. We are committed to offering a rich curriculum that allows all to flourish both academically and spiritually. We want all to have a voice, knowing we can make a difference.

We live out our vision through our values:

Thankfulness, Trust, Courage, Forgiveness, Service, and Respect

Our vision is summarised in our motto:

Learn to love, love to learn.

The Bible tells us; ‘Let all that you do, be done in love’ 1 Corinthians 16:14
