Strand 4: Community and Living Well Together
Coding Club with Mr Wood
Mr Wood
Mr Wood is a grandparent of Sophie and Joe who attended our school many years ago. Mr Wood has been volunteering at our coding club for a very long time. We are humble that he gives his time up for free to help our children flourish through the use of technology. Mr Wood lives out our school values through his dedication to our school family and indeed his calm approach to all the questions we ask. Thank you Mr Wood for inspiring our children to have individual one to one attention to share your skills and and gain new learning.
A great day at Lees Brook Secondary school

At the end of the Summer term we held a festival day in honor of our children and staff and ho incredibly hard they have all worked over the past year. This was a great opportunity for us to come together as a whole school and celebrate. Please click below to see videos of our amazing festival day.
Our community supporting us:
After some rather wild weather a large branch had come down in our Eco garden and so made the space unsafe to be used by children and staff. A parent and his colleague was able to get rid of the branch and once again make the Eco garden a safe learning and reflection environment for our children and staff.
Thank you for your support!
White Hart Stanley Village:
School and the pub work closely together to ensure the safety of the whole community. Georgina at the pub allows school staff to use her car parking facilities on a day to day basis to free up parking spaces outside the church making it safer at drop off and pick up times for our whole community as well as people driving through the village. As a school we really appreciate the support from the village facility and offer our support in return.
Our local Churches:
