Leigh Academy Dartford

Welcome to Leigh Academy Dartford.

We are a large three form entry with a nursery in the heart of Dartford.

Our aspiration is for all of our children to become determined, persistent achievers who learn to change the world.

Our children enjoy a rich curriculum that explores and develops beyond the national curriculum, exploring global issues and preparing them to be forward thinkers full of creativity and all.

We work with the community and our families to ensure the greatest success for all.

We value the development of the whole child and have a well-established wellbeing strategy.

We run several clubs and trips to enhance our curriculum further and build in celebrations of different cultures and charity events throughout the year.

We work collaboratively across our trust to ensure every child is prepared for the next stage of their education and prepare them for their working future careers.

We follow the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program.

The core element of this is developing our children to be internationally minded and global citizens.

We want them to be able to take action in their local community and in the global community.
