Welcome from the Principal

Mr Luke Coulson

Welcome to Leigh Academy Oaks. We believe every child deserves the best education and hold the highest expectations for all our pupils. Our principle aim is to help them reach their full potential by providing the education they need today, equipping them with every opportunity to succeed tomorrow.

Our dedicated staff strive to make learning engaging and aim to offer as many ‘real-life’ learning experiences as possible, making education exciting, interesting, and meaningful. We want all pupils to become confident, independent learners with curious minds. Our comprehensive and balanced curriculum is tailored to our pupils. By integrating the National Curriculum with the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme, we foster a passion for learning. This approach ensures every member of our academy, pupils, staff and parents alike, have a voice, choice, and ownership in their educational journey with us.

Everyone at Leigh Academy Oaks believes that learning continues beyond the academy day. We encourage our pupils to explore their interests through a wide range of extracurricular clubs and activities, believing that education extends beyond the classroom.

A core belief resonating throughout the academy is nurturing positive values towards oneself, others, the wider community, and the global community. Together, we create an environment where positive behaviour is the norm, where everyone is treated with respect, understanding, and sensitivity. The Learner Profile Attributes are central to what we want our pupils to master during their time with us. These ten core attributes encapsulate the essence of confident, successful lifelong learners.

Being exceptionally proud to serve our local community, we value the strong home-academy relationships we build. We recognise the importance of family support in our pupil’s success and warmly welcome parents to join our many varied academy events, from celebrating achievements to participating in parent engagement activities.

We are privileged to be part of a dedicated team as proud members of Leigh Academies Trust. Leaders and teaching staff within our academy, alongside those across the Trust, are committed to raising educational standards for all pupils. This affiliation provides us with an unparalleled wealth of experience, knowledge and expertise, supporting our Trust mission to ensure ‘Education for a better world’. Furthermore, the Trust’s innovative approach to utilising cutting-edge technology and resources enhances learning and removes barriers. This enables us to prepare our pupils for the technological world they will help shape in the future. 

Our website offers just a glimpse into the educational experiences at Leigh Academy Oaks. We warmly invite you and your children to visit our academy and see our learning in action.

I look forward to welcoming you to our academy.

Kindest regards, 
Mr L Coulson | Principal
