Partnerships & Community Links

Partnerships & Community Links:

We strongly believe in the benefits to the children and society if strong community links are made, in particular between generations.  We actively encourage volunteers from all generations into the school and for children to visit the local community. 

In addition to community links, we have the following links:

Cluster Primary Schools:

We meet with other schools in the Matlock cluster to give children a variety of enrichment opportunities.  Our teachers and support staff meet for joint training events and moderation meetings.  Headteacher's of the schools also meet to share good practice and ensure the highest standards in all areas.

Secondary School Partnerships:

Children from Lea Primary School often choose to transfer to Highfields Secondary School (Matlock) ,David Nieper Academy (Alfreton), Anthony Gell School (Wirksworth) or Lady Manners School (Bakewell).

We have excellent partnerships with all these schools and there is transition programme in place for our Year 6 children, with many visits by staff and children prior to the transfer to any secondary school.
