On Friday, 2nd May, Leigh Stationers’ Primary Academy marked a significant milestone in its history – the 90th anniversary of our illustrious school. Since its inception in 1935 as Eastcote County Primary School, our institution has proudly educated thousands of children and has stood as a cornerstone of our community.
To honour this momentous occasion, we hosted a celebratory day that invited reflection on the rich history of our academy. Students embraced the spirit of the 1930s by donning period attire, recalling a time when our school operated without a uniform.
The day’s festivities included a special assembly where we delved into the academy’s history, rich in anecdotes and achievements. An engaging exhibition in the library offered everyone a glimpse into our past, featuring old archives and extracts from the Headteacher’s logbooks, highlighting key events in our school’s evolution.
Children enjoyed 1930s-style lessons that provided insights into educational practices of the time. This was followed by delightful afternoon tea parties inspired by traditional recipes of the era. At break time, students relished playing classic games such as hopscotch, marbles, and skipping, connecting to the joyous spirit of yesteryear. To mark the occasion each child received a special souvenir coin, sponsored by our parent association. Here’s to the next 90 years!
