KMA students have had an incredibly positive start to 2023. Collectively they have achieved nearly 31,000 reward points in January. This represents a colossal 36 times, on average, since the start of term where each student has been celebrated for upholding our values of ‘Work Hard, Be Kind, Be Proud’.

Students from a local primary school are kitted out to play sports in style, thanks to a donation from a Leicestershire-based housebuilder.

We know some parents can be curious as to how girls' schools work in practice. Are there more friendship issues? Girls more confident to study with boys when they leave for University? Are girls’ schools just old-fashioned finishing schools? I can reassure you at LHS the answers are No, Yes and most definitely No!

It's a double outstanding for Kibworth for The Hunny Nurseries! The Hunny Bee in Kibworth Paget Street, is the sister setting to The Hunny Hive Smeeton Road. The Hunny Bee on Paget Street has joined in with celebrations as they were inspected in November and held on to their outstanding grading!

At Kibworth Mead Academy we seek every opportunity to develop our young people so that they become successful, confident and responsible young people equipped with academic qualifications as well as the personal and social skills to enable them to make a positive difference to their community and the wider world.

2023 is the 664th anniversary of a charter involving Robert Chapman of Kibworth Harcourt and Roger de Stanesby of Smeeton Westerby which is highly relevant to dating one of England’s oldest schools at Kibworth Beauchamp. 

The Schools Prayer Network (SPN) began when Michael Philip, a peripatetic music teacher, saw the power of prayer in school first hand. After experiencing vandalism at a school, one of the children in the Christian Union decided to pray about it. The vandalism stopped almost straight away. Michael felt that if prayer had this effect in one school, it could have similar effects in other schools. 

It has been an action packed term of sport at Kibworth Mead Academy. Mr Hill settled in as the new Head of PE, a virtually all new PE department inspired a new dawn of sporting success and participation.

As with all Independent Schools, Leicester High School for Girls is inspected by the Independent Schools’ Inspectorate, rather than by OFSTED. Our Inspection took place in November 2022 and I am both thrilled and proud to share our results.
