This half term has been a busy one at KMA.

Did your science lessons look like this?

Kibworth & Fleckney Rotary are hosting a fundraising event featuring two musical groups, the Leicester Grammar School Big Band and Youth Brass 2000 in a concert in St Nicholas Hall, Leicester Grammar School, London Road, Great Glen, LE8 9FL on Friday 21 March at 7pm. Tickets are priced at £12 each and are available from TicketSource.

Children at Kibworth CE Primary School live out the school value ‘Let Your Light Shine’ in so many ways. Most recently, Sophie, one of the Year 6 children, came up with a fantastic idea!

Foxton Primary School is delighted to announce the opening of its brand-new water play and loose parts area. This is a dynamic addition to its already stunning outdoor grounds, designed to inspire creativity, teamwork, and hands-on learning. This innovative playscape, part-funded by the East Midlands Railway Community Fund, promises to transform playtime into an enriching educational experience. The newly constructed area incorporates a water pump, channels, and loose parts. It reflects the historical and geographical significance of the nearby Foxton Locks and canal system. Through this interactive environment, children will engage in imaginative play. Meanwhile they will learn about water flow and the rich history of their local community.

After Harborough Town’s FA Cup victory vs Tonbridge, Leonard, a Kibworth Primary School pupil, declared that, “I’m going to get a ‘pick in the box’ at school for really good reading.” A ‘pick in the box’ is a box of treats pupils at Leonard’s school are rewarded with  for very good work. Leonard continued, “I’m going to pick a trophy and give it to the Harborough Town keeper at the Reading match, to say well done for doing really well.” True to Leonard’s word, a few days later he returned home with the trophy he’d selected, which he’d earned for very good reading. 

At Kibworth Mead Academy we want our young people to develop into well-rounded citizens who are able to make a difference in their community. This is underpinned by our values of work hard, be kind, be proud, which permeate every aspect of KMA life. As part of our emphasis on developing students holistically, we place strong emphasis on the extra-curricular opportunities on offer.

Kibworth Mead Academy students have come back from the summer holidays with a really positive attitude. They have collectively achieved over 68,000 reward points for demonstrating our values of work hard, be kind and be proud. Which bodes really well for the school year.

The summer holiday has been busy at KMA! Thanks to a huge capital investment from The Mead Educational Trust, a massive amount of building work has been successfully completed over the summer. This has included the refurbishment of two state of the art science laboratories, our Year 7 refectory, and the main student entrance.
