In February, Year 1 enjoyed a truly special afternoon sharing old toys with their grandparents. The children were captivated by the stories behind the toys and discovered fascinating insights into how games and play have changed over time.

This term at KMA has been focussed on students’ next steps.

Dear Editor,

Over two fantastic days, our students and parent/carer volunteers joined forces with Harborough Woodland to take part in an inspiring tree planting project that will benefit our community and local environment for years to come.

The choir have been in full festive force bringing joy to the school and local community during several Christmas performances. They kicked off with a special singing assembly for the whole school where all the adults and children sang along. They especially loved an energetic rendition of The Twelve Days of Christmas!

This term at KMA we have been focused on our careers education. At KMA we want every student to leave us with a clear understanding of their next steps and some clear career goals. Therefore, we take every opportunity to embed careers into the curriculum. This takes different forms over the five years. From tutor time sessions, careers snippets in lessons or whole day events, culminating in a half term’s worth of 1:1 interviews with our careers advisor for Year 11. We also offer ongoing support over the year as they gain their places at Colleges and their Post-16 providers. 

Happy New Year from the KPA!

Leicester High School for Girls proudly hosted the UKMT Primary Team Maths Challenge 2025. They welcomed pupils from Market Harborough C of E Academy, Fleckney Primary School, St Joseph’s Catholic Voluntary Academy, St John Fisher CVA, and Avenue Primary School for a day of exciting mathematical challenges.

In October, our Year Six pupils embarked on an unforgettable residential trip to Castleton in the heart of the Peak District. The aim of this adventure was not only to explore the great outdoors but also to nurture independence, confidence, and friendships that will last a lifetime. As part of our commitment to enriching learning experiences, the children were given opportunities to challenge themselves, discover new skills, and create wonderful memories together. Their home for the week was the welcoming Hollowford Centre. Here they were welcomed by the friendly and supportive staff and instructors.

Students have come back from the summer holidays with a really positive attitude and have collectively achieved over 118,000 reward points for demonstrating our values of work hard, be kind, be proud, which bodes really well for the school year.
