St Leonard's Internet Legends

Thanks to Parent Zone and Google, all our KS2 children received a Build Your Legend kit to take home. The activity required children, with the help of their families, to answer questions about online safety in order to unlock instructions to build their 3D Legend model.

Feedback on this initiative has been very positive with children and parents saying they found it a fun, engaging way to remind them of the steps to take, to keep safe online.

Here are a few of our 'St Leonard's Internet Legends' with their completed 3D models.

St Leonard's School and Church Nativity 2020

Enjoy our virtual nativity play starring the children of St Leonard's Langho with special guests Bishop Philip, and Flower, Jarvis and Damson the donkeys.

We are extremely grateful to Reverend Tracy, who defied the old show business adage, "Never work with children or animals”, to produce this wonderful nativity.

A big thank you to all the children (and animals) who clearly enjoyed their roles in helping Reverend Tracy share the magic of Christmas, 2020 style.

Carol Service 2019

Thank you to our amazing choir and talented musicians who led a beautiful Carol Service in church. Their wonderful singing, music and readings really helped everyone feel the spirit of Christmas. A special thanks to Mrs Burton and Mrs Cronshaw for their hard work in preparing them for the performance.

Highlights from the service have been uploaded in the video below.

Santa Dash 2019

A group of our Year 3 children, from Herons and Kingfishers classes, took part in the Primary Santa Dash at Wilson's Playing Fields. The event, organised by the Hyndburn and Ribble Valley School Sports Partnership (HRVSSP), involved a 1200m race along with some fun festive singing and dancing. Congratulations to three of our children who were awarded medals at the event.

KS2 Sports Day 2019

New School Mural

Artist Peter Bourne spent two days in school working with all the children and staff to create a stunning mural. The artwork has taken pride of place in our new school hall/studio.

Huge thanks to Peter for his artistic inspiration.

The slideshow follows the murals creation.

Year 5 York Visit

Our Year 5 children had a fantastic couple of days of learning in historic York. They were a real credit to St Leonard's, their families and themselves for the excellent behaviour and polite manners they displayed. Take a look at the fun they had.

Oliver! Summer Production 2018

This year's KS2 production of Oliver was so amazing it should have been on a West End stage!

It has been ten years since St Leonard's last performed Oliver when Grace Davies (runner up in 2018 X Factor Final) starred as Nancy. During her successful time on the TV show, Grace credited her role in the school production (the first time she had sung in public) and Mrs Welch's inspirational mentoring for igniting her passion for performing.

Ten years on and Mrs Welch is still nurturing performing talent. Judging by the talent on display in this year's production she may, again, have inspired some of our children to become performing stars of the future.

Science Week

Mrs Cronshaw organized an exciting Science Week for the whole school in March 2018.

The video below provides a snapshot of the learning that took place.

There is another video on the Curriculum Science page, which you can access by clicking here.

Grace's Amazing X Factor Adventure

Everyone at school has been following, with excitement and pride, former St Leonard's pupil, Grace Davies' journey to the the 2017 X Factor Final.

Grace took time out of her busy X Factor schedule to make a couple visits to school, to the delight of all the children and staff. She chatted to the children about her time at St Leonard's and her X Factor experience and even joined in with the school choir, who were singing 'Amazing Grace' in her honour.

A group of children were invited to attend Grace's homecoming visit in the lead up to the X Factor Final. This event was filmed and a number of our pupils where thrilled to see themselves on TV, when the footage was aired ahead of Grace's performance on Saturday night.

Grace's talent for singing and performing came as no surprise to her St Leonard's family. Her first public performance was starring as Nancy in our school production of Oliver, when she amazed everyone with her beautiful rendition of the song 'As Long As He Needs Me.

She may not have taken the X Factor crown but Grace will always be a winner to her St Leonard's Family.

We wish her every success for the future and look forward with anticipation to the release of her first album.

Ceramics Club

During the Autumn term a group of Year 6 children attended a four week after school 'Ceramics Club', run by David Horsfall, who holds an MA degree in Ceramic Arts, and Miss Cross.

The children had a great time and created many fantastic pieces of ceramic art work, as can be seen in the slideshow below.

Madagascar A Musical Adventure Jr

This year's KS2 summer production of Madagascar at The Grand, Clitheroe was simply magnificent! We are blessed to have such talented children and such a dedicated director, choreographer, costume designer in Mrs Welch. Well done to all the children but a special mention for those in the leading rolls who gave performances worthy of a West End stage!

Thank you to Mrs Cameron for the super photos.

Year 4 Brass Concert

The children in Year 4 receive weekly brass lessons from Mrs Rayton, via the Lancashire Music Service Wider Opportunities Programme. To showcase the fantastic progress they have made, under Mrs Rayton's excellent tuition, the children entertained their families with a fabulous concert at the end of the spring term. The concert also featured guest performances from children in Year 5 and 6 who have continued with their brass tuition since Year 4. Thank you to all the children who performed; we certainly have some budding musicians at St Leonard's!

A compilation of the pieces they played and sang can be viewed in the video below.

Quest Seekers Christmas Video 2016

Following the success of last year's video, children from our ethos group, Quest Seekers, have once again created a fabulous Christmas video to remind us what Christmas is really all about.

Blackburn Rovers Players Visit St Leonard's

On Tuesday 22 November 2016, Blackburn Rovers players Corry Evans and Anthony Stokes visited school. They joined delighted Y6 children, in Oak Class, for their weekly PE lesson, delivered by the Blackburn Rovers Community Trust. They also visited Silver Birch Class for a question and answer session.

Their visit, organised through the Blackburn Rovers Community Trust in conjunction with the Premier League Primary Stars sports and education initiative, was filmed and can be viewed via the link here.

Roald Dahl Dressing Up Day

We had many imaginative costumes for our dressing up day, in celebration of Roald Dahl's 100th birthday. Thank you to all the children and parents for their enthusiastic support.

My Son Pinocchio

This year's junior school summer production at The Grand, Clitheroe was a wonderful adaptation of the Disney classic Pinocchio.
A huge thank you to Mrs Tracy Bolton for the fabulous photographs.
