We are a busy but friendly and welcoming place, with lots going on. This website aims to give you a taster of the life of the Academy, showcasing some of the incredible opportunities we offer, as well as providing regular updated information for parents, pupils and the wider community.

'' Pupils are happy and safe at this welcoming school. It is a positive and ambitious place to learn'' Ofsted- May 2024

Queensmead Primary Academy opened its doors in November 2012 as the first primary academy in Leicester City sponsored by the Greenwood Academies Trust (formerly known as the Greenwood Dale Foundation Trust). Greenwood Academies Trust (GAT) currently has 37 academies educating over 18,000 pupils across seven local authority areas including Nottingham City, Nottinghamshire, Leicester City, West Northamptonshire, North Northamptonshire, Peterborough, and Lincolnshire.

Working within our Trust means that we can support each other by sharing good practice as well as developing effective collaboration both within our own region and across the wider Trust. As part of Leicester City Local Authority, we are proud to link with our neighbouring schools as well as those further afield in the city.

"Adults are aspirational for what children can achieve" Ofsted - May 2024

The Academy serves a long-standing local community in the Braunstone area of Leicester. We continually seek ways to involve parents and the local community in the daily life of our Academy and in children's learning. Our friendly, dedicated staff are committed to ensuring that our pupils are provided with the best possible start to their educational journey. Over the last few years, our incredible pupils have achieved results that significantly exceed national expectations - we are so very proud of them and the amazing progress they make.  

"The school's ambition for all pupils to achieve their very best shines out of this school in every direction" Ofsted - May 2024

Our spacious building and extensive grounds offer some of the best facilities children and parents could wish for; we strive to continually improve and update these spaces to meet the changing needs of our learners. We have designated spaces to support our broad, wide-ranging curriculum and co-curriculum offer. These include: Forest School spaces, an outdoor amphitheatre, drama and performance studio, a soundproof music room as well as a library which rightly places reading at the heart of our Academy.

''The school itself is a vast canvas of high-quality displays that showcase creative and academic achievements'' Ofsted -May 2024

As a UNICEF Rights Respecting School, our co-curriculum is designed to promote and encourage high aspirations for our pupils. Pupils here benefit from a myriad of experiences and opportunities designed to support them as local, national and global citizens with a life-long love of learning. Recognition for these opportunities is captured by the Qualities of Queensmead website pages and reflected in the numerous and diverse range of awards and accreditations we have achieved.

''The wider opportunities the school provides for pupils are extensive and innovative. " Ofsted - May 2024

We continually strive for high attainment and progress for all our pupils alongside their personal development, creating memorable moments which will support them into their bright futures. We are proud to prioritise supportive and caring relationships where individuals are respected and differences celebrated.

"Pupils' behaviour and their attitudes to learning are excellent. They are proud of the respectful relationships they have towards each other" Ofsted - May 2024

''They are a united and extended family'' Ofsted - May 2024
