So, our first half term of the school year is done. Thank you to those who supported our Virtual Balloon Race and helped us raise £120. An extra thank you to our winner, who kindly donated their prize back to the school. We are also packing all our old and foreign coin donations to send, we will share our total raised soon.

We are absolutely delighted to share that our Foundation Stage team at Kibworth Primary has been honoured with the Pearson National Teaching Bronze Award for ‘Early Years Team of the Year 2025’. This prestigious accolade, awarded by the Pearson National Teaching Awards, celebrates the exceptional dedication, creativity, and impact of early years educators across the UK.

At Kibworth Mead we aim to give our students lots of different opportunities to shine. Two areas we would like to highlight this month are maths and athletics.

Kibworth Primary School recently hosted an inspirational careers day for all KS1 and KS2 pupils. The day was organised by Mrs Matthew and the MYPATH team. MYPATH are a local business that delivers careers education in a unique and exciting way! The event was a huge success. It provided children with a fabulous day filled with engaging activities and opportunities to learn about the world of work.

This quick half-term sees the KPA volunteers busy with ice lolly sales, penny wars and our final doughnut sale of the school year. We are purchasing some much needed gazebos for the school and hopefully adding to the school reading resources.

It has been a busy term at KMA. As part of our continuous drive for further improvement since our ‘Good’ Ofsted judgement last year, we recently welcomed a team of external reviewers to KMA, conducted by Challenge Partners. These consist of a team of senior leaders from schools across the area, who spent three days at KMA looking at our strengths and how we can further improve. 

Severn Trent Water visited our Year 4 pupils to share their expertise on the fascinating journey of water. The session was both educational and engaging, leaving our students with a deeper understanding of the water cycle and the vital role Severn Trent plays in managing our water resources.

Kibworth Primary School is thrilled to announce that we will be opening our very own pre-school. We're set to launch in September 2025. This new addition to our primary school provision marks a significant milestone for our school and the local community.

As part of environmental improvements around the Kibworth Mead Academy site, we planted 1,000 hedge whips around the Academy’s car park areas. A total of over 100 enthusiastic Year 8 students planted them throughout a warm March day, Thursday 20.
