Lee Brigg Infant & Nursery School opened as an academy on October 1st 2015 and is a member of the Waterton Academy Trust. The school is for pupils aged 3 - 7 years and proudly serves the Altofts and Normanton district of Wakefield.

The school has a 52 place nursery offering morning or afternoon learning sessions of 3hrs. There is a 45 pupil admission limit in the reception year, year one and year two.

Lee Brigg school has gained a reputation for excellence that is best evidenced in the outcomes that pupils achieve across all aspects of school life. Pupils consistently achieve high standards. For the last 3 years outcomes for our pupils have been significantly higher than outcomes for pupils nationally both in the Foundation Stage and Key Stage One. This is because learning progress and childhood are equally valued. We encourage our pupils to shine as individuals and work hard to achieve their learning potential. Our strong tradition of success is built on a firm foundation of personalised pastoral care, ensuring a climate for learning that is calm, well ordered and secure. We recognise the hard work and efforts of pupils in their lessons and their learning and positive recognition of pupils and staff is at the heart of our approach. 

Lee Brigg School is a school that is committed to providing a stimulating, creative environment so that all our children enjoy learning, make outstanding progress and reach their potential.

We work hard to provide a supportive and stimulating environment where children can develop independence, confidence, self-esteem and a lifelong love of learning. We have high expectations and seek to impart in all our children a strong sense of responsibility for their own behaviour, and a respect for the rights of others.

At Lee Brigg Infant School we are constantly striving to provide high quality learning opportunities which engage, challenge and inspire all our pupils. 

We have dedicated, professional staff who are committed to offering pupils a successful and happy time at school. Lessons are planned to give children the chance to be curious, reflective and take risks. This allows them to develop resilience. Outstanding teaching and our language rich and diverse curriculum, provides both challenging and collaborative learning opportunities that widen children's horizons, raise aspirations and shows children what they can achieve.

Whilst supporting our pupils to be the very best learners, the development of our community is also an extremely important feature of our work. It is Lee Brigg’s key priority to ensure that we have a very positive relationships with parents and carers in order to fully support the learning of all young children.

We value our close partnerships with parents and are committed to being part of the local community.
