Mesne Lea Primary School is an inclusive, vibrant two form entry school catering for children from the ages of 3-11, with an 8 place enhanced resource provision. At Mesne Lea, we recognise the importance of the whole child and we have high expectations for all of our pupils. We are passionate about equipping children with the skills and qualities required to excel in life, such as resilience and managing a budget.
Our school offers an innovative curriculum which appeals to children’s needs in the 21st century, encouraging pupils to see how their learning fits with life in the real-world! We believe that our pupils must be at the core of whatever we do, meaning that when reviewing the effectiveness of our provision, we ensure that their voice is always heard. At Mesne Lea, we are passionate about outdoor learning and we acknowledge that regular access to this can significantly improve mental health and well-being.
