Leicester Preparatory School

Leicester Preparatory School is now performing well after previously requiring improvement. The school demonstrates a commitment to the quality of education, with new leadership making significant strides in curriculum development and ensuring that teaching meets the needs of the pupils. Students are generally happy, feel safe, and engage positively with their learning, showing enthusiasm for a range of subjects and extracurricular activities. Parent feedback indicates satisfaction with the school's focus on their children's happiness and success. Despite these strengths, the school faces some challenges, particularly in behavior management within classrooms and the promotion of reading among older pupils. Not all teachers maintain high expectations for student behavior, leading to disruptions. Additionally, there is a lack of a cohesive reading culture that encourages older students to develop a love for literature. Leadership recognizes these areas for improvement and is actively working to address them, ensuring that the school continues to evolve positively.
