    To study aimed at exploring leadership approach and staff turnover in selected Catholic founded primary schools in Nsambya Parish. The study objectives included: to establish the relationship between inspirational motivation and staff turnover in Catholic Church founded primary schools; to assess the relationship between intellectual stimulation and staff turnover in Catholic Church founded primary schools; to examine the relationship between idealized influence and staff turnover in Catholic Church founded primary schools; and to examine the relationship between individualized consideration and staff turnover in Catholic Church founded primary schools. This study was conducted using explanatory non-experimental cross-sectional survey design. The study population included, Head teachers (9), Deputy Head teachers (9), Parish Education Department officials (2), teachers (90), and non-teaching staff (26). Data was collected with the help of questionnaires and interview guide. Data was analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The study findings revealed that the head teacher usually interact with entire school staff to build confidence and inspire them at work, and school staff always get inspired by school heads to be creative, thus loving their job. These are the major effects of inspirational motivation on staff turnover in Catholic Church founded primary schools. It also revealed that school staff are always encouraged by the school leaders to be creative as well as having team spirit at our place of work; school leaders always encourages innovation to ease the work; and head teachers always encourage staff to be critical thinkers in primary schools; these are the major effects of intellectual stimulation on staff turnover in Catholic Church founded primary schools. The study further revealed that school staff always interact with head teacher by working together and providing aspirations and acquiring new skills, and idealized influence demonstrates head teachers’ integrity, a life of moral commitment and selfishness to entre staff; these are major effects of idealized influence on staff turnover in Catholic Church founded primary schools. Lastly, it revealed that head teacher always mentor teaching and non-teaching staff one-on-one thus influencing their turnover intention; and school leaders always delegate difficult tasks to staff to equip us with managerial skills and maintain high level of coordination; these are major effects of individualized consideration on staff turnover in Catholic Church founded primary schools. Basing on the above, it is concluded that leadership approach has a significant effect on the staff turnover in selected Catholic founded primary schools in Nsambya Parish. The study recommended that head-teachers need to be a bit more lenient in their leadership approach in that while they emphasize supervision of their teachers, it should be leniently directed such that teachers do not look at it as if they are being forced or literally taken with low capacity to do the work; and areas of further research were suggested.
