About the school
“West Leigh Infant School and Backwell Church of England Junior School formally federated in April 2013. The two schools serve the same community and indeed, the vast majority of children move from Year 2 at West Leigh to Year 3 at Backwell Juniors.”
Established school - open since before 2017. Became an academy in February 2018, continuing the school that was already there.
