Kestrel Mead Primary Academy

Today we shared the news, on thank a teacher day, that we have received national recognition as a highly commended school in the Pearson National Teaching Awards - Primary School of the Year! Read more about it in this post. ❤️

We’re celebrating 2 award-winning schools! 🎉

Congratulations to Kibworth Mead Academy and Kestrel Mead Primary Academy who have both received Pearson National Teaching Awards for teaching excellence!

This is the second consecutive year that Kibworth Mead has received the accolade. Principal, Steve Piggot, says: “This award recognises the hard work and dedication of our fantastic staff who make such a positive difference. I also want to thank all of our students, families, members of our local community, and The Mead Educational Trust for their help and support, without which this recognition would not have been possible."

Meanwhile, the recognition places Kestrel Mead among a very small number of schools nationally to be recognised by the Pearson National Teaching Awards. Principal, Zoe Simpson, says: “It is a tremendous honour and reflects the dedication of our entire community. Everything we do is driven by our commitment to our children and families. Knowing that we are truly living our ABC motto - Achieving Excellence, Belonging and Creating Equity - fills us with immense pride. Our students are incredible. They inspire us every day, and this recognition reinforces our belief that together we are providing the strongest possible start in life.”
