Welcome to our blue school on the hill! 

Choosing a school for your child is a big decision and we understand there are many factors to consider before applying. We hope you’ll find lots of useful information on this page to help you make the right choice for your family. 

We are an Ofsted rated 'Good' school with an Outstanding Early Years Foundation Stage and Behaviour.

We believe that our pupils are happiest when they feel loved and valued, therefore our vision is for every child to feel welcome at school, included and a part of the Bank Leaze family. This is true from their very first visits to our school before September, through to their last days, and even upon leaving! 

Pupils are rewarded for working hard and making great progress in class, and are celebrated by the family in a weekly assembly. We promote kindness throughout our curriculum, and we develop character through rich experiences and the Oasis 9 Habits. 

It is our vision that our children leave Bank Leaze prepared and excited for the next steps in their education, but also ready for the wider world. Our enrichment opportunities enable our children to develop the confidence to try new things and make choices about their learning and futures. 

 At the heart of our academy curriculum are four core elements:

1.    Communication, language & vocabulary

2.    Books and reading

3.    Experienced-based learning, incorporating the outdoors wherever possible

4.    Knowledge and retaining knowledge
