Welcome!

Hello and thank you for visiting our website to find out a little bit more about our school. Leiston is one of the founding schools behind Avocet Multi-Academy Trust which was set up in November 2014 with the view that collaboration is the key to success at all levels. Avocet joined East Anglian Schools Trust in November 2023. Located on the Suffolk Coast we look to provide our students with the best possible start to their education an a mindset which empowers them to become life long learners.

Leiston is a bustling and thriving primary school for students from Nursery to Year 6. It's rich diversity provides children with a range of learning opportunities both within our school and as part of the wider Trust. We offer opportunities such as inter-Academy sports tournaments, the 11 before 11 offer which sees our students enjoy a range of life experiences before they leave us, a focus on developing the whole child through a solid foundation of personal and social skills, a varied curriculum and work within the wider community.

We welcome the support of our families and actively seek and encourage our families to join in different opportunities throughout their child's time with us such as Enterprise Week, curriculum enrichment and home learning. We welcome visits to our school to look around and see what we have to offer and how we can give your child the best possible start to their education.

Our Leadership Team are always on hand if you have any queries so pleased feel free to contact them: Mrs Melton (Head of School) and Mrs Chadwick (Assistant Head of School).
