The children have really embodied the LEO Pride Values and we are really proud of them.

Perseverance - Keep trying; never give up

Respect - For everyone, every time, in everything we do

Imagination - See. Think. Wonder. Anything is possible

Dedication - To each other and to ourselves

Encouragement - Work as a team and support others

Thank you for all your support this half term.

I wish you all a wonderful half term. Enjoy spending time as a family if possible.

We look forward to welcoming pupils back on Tuesday 3rd November.

Opportunity

Design a Secret Garden Competition

Sky Cinema in partnership with the RHS (Royal Horticultural Society) is delighted to offer this exciting opportunity for young gardeners and visionaries to take part in an exclusive competition.

They would like young people to imagine they have discovered the gates to a hidden, secret garden and to let them know what it looks like.

You can choose how you would like to showcase their garden.

Perhaps you could draw or paint your design, create a collage or model, or even plant up a miniature version of it.

The winner will have the chance to see their garden, or elements of it, brought to life either in their school or in a community space. The winner and runners up will also win a movie goody bag.

Deadline for entries is November 19th 2020
