Leonay Public School is part of a small close knit community situated at the base of the Blue Mountains. Current enrolment is 232, 9 classes and 7% Aboriginal student population. The school actively participates in a number of extra curricular activities in creative and performing arts across the Penrith Network and Western Sydney Region. Sporting representation across a variety of areas is significant and students have the opportunity to participate in a range of in-school and inter-school sporting events.

Leonay Public School is part of the Nepean Learning Community, developing close ties with its feeder high school and other local primary schools to ensure consistent and effective practices. The Leonay school community strongly promotes the teaching and learning opportunities that are provided for the diverse needs of all students. Not only learning across the six key learning areas as set out by the Department of Education but also as part of social and emotional wellbeing aspects. The school is currently reviewing welfare and wellbeing policies and procedures to ensure consistency, equity and fairness for all students. Each fortnight students work on demonstrating a selected area known as our Leonay Values.

Our school is focused on developing sustainable practices to better the environment. The school strongly focuses on developing literacy and numeracy skills across all areas of learning. Through extensive community consultation and the development of the Situational Analysis, our future directions will focus on collecting and analysing authentic data through scheduled assessments in reading, writing and mathematics to drive the teaching practices and maximise learning outcomes for all students at a given point in time.

The introduction of Visible Learning as part of the Lower Mountains Visible Learning Community (LMVLC), incorporating learning intentions, success criteria and effective feedback provides a scaffold for building reflective and responsive classroom environments. Technology is integrated into all learning experiences and enhances teaching practices across the school.
