Leadworth Primary School was a school in the village of Leadworth.

Amelia Pond, Mels and Rory Williams attended this school together. According to Amelia, Mels was the most in trouble in the school except for boys, counting herself among the boys. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler) It was here that Rory first met Amelia. (WC: Rory's Story)

When Mels called their history teacher stupid for not knowing about the Doctor, she was sent to the headteacher's office. In the playground, Rory was left blindfolded and asking, "Am I getting warmer?" from a game the trio had been playing earlier. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler)

Mrs Brockerly taught during Amelia's third year. Veronica Stackmore, the daughter of Leadworth's mayor, was in their year. This year, (COMIC: Imaginary Enemies) Rory played Joseph in the nativity play. (TV: Dinosaurs on a Spaceship) Veronica claimed he couldn't carry the role. She was cast as the Virgin Mary. Veronica picked on Amelia and mercilessly made fun of her for believing in the Eleventh Doctor. At one point, she even ripped the head off of one of Amelia's Raggedy Doctor dolls. In retaliation, Mels, the only person that Veronica was afraid of, dressed up as "the Sheep of Doom" and scared Veronica into giving Amelia back her broken doll.

In the school library, Veronica began speaking to herself in the mirror and Krampus, a member of the Pantheon of Discord, chose that moment to appear to her dressed in a reverse Santa suit and claiming to be her uncle. She rejected the gift of an apple from him and instead demanded a Monique Superstar Doll with a complete Milan wardrobe, which she was granted. She then became embroiled in his plan to "punish" Amelia, Rory, and Mels by wishing them gone and saying the words, "I banish these three forever." Veronica relished the idea of them missing the play and getting in trouble for it. To further prompt her to say the words, Krampus showed her a vision of Amelia's future Petrichor perfume advertisement and warned that if she didn't act, Amelia would become more beautiful than her.

Infuriated, Veronica began to recite the words, only to be interrupted by Amelia, who distracted her by pointing out that her hands were dirty. Vainly, Veronica looked into the mirror and realised she was not holding a Monique doll, but a large chunk of coal. She threw the coal into the mirror in anger and forced Krampus and his minors back through the portal, severing the connection. It also caused Veronica, along with Amelia and Rory, to blackout and forget about everything relating to Krampus. With Veronica passed out, she was unable to play Mary in the nativity play after all. (COMIC: Imaginary Enemies)
