About Knighton Mead Primary Academy

Knighton Fields, part of The Mead Educational Trust, is a small, inner-city primary academy, situated close to Leicester City centre. The academy has approximately 215 pupils in mainstream school and a nursery. Visitors often comment on the welcome they receive in our school and we pride ourselves on having a nurturing, family atmosphere. We are based in a historic building, which first opened as a school in 1929 and provides spacious and airy accommodation. We make the most of our site with adventure playgrounds and a gazebo garden.

At Knighton Fields, we fully appreciate the value of learning outside the classroom. Each class has regular trips off site to enhance the curriculum.

We value parental involvement highly and regularly offer parent workshops and events.

We have high expectations of all our pupils, including their uniform, attendance, behaviour and, most importantly, their attitude to learning. Staff are expected to maintain high professional standards and be approachable to children and adults.

Knighton Fields Primary Academy is proud to be part of The Mead Educational Trust. The Mead Educational Trust (TMET) is a growing partnership of primary and secondary academies situated in the East Midlands. The Trust draws its educational excellence from the established track record of the high quality education provision of Rushey Mead, the Trust’s sponsor academy, and its partner academies.

The Trust is passionate about education and provides its pupils with exciting, engaging and high quality learning environments, developing its pupils into aspirational, capable and confident young adults and members of the community. It celebrates the diversity and individuality of each academy. TMET is a committed employer keen to provide high quality professional development. It provides its academies access to a world-class education network, excellent school-to-school support and is committed to ensuring that all of our academies will, by working together, make a positive difference.
