As the country celebrated the birthday of one of our greatest educators and environmental pioneers, our students were busy writing their own messages of thanks to explain the impact Sir David Attenborough has had on them. Here's a quick look at what some of them had to say...

On day 60/100 of Miss Smith's 100 day challenge, we wanted to share that we raised £529.13 for Heartlink Charity. We hope that it gives you a little boost for your last 40 days... such a great cause and such an inspiring challenge! Run Miss Smith, Run! The Mead Educational Trust

We have officially opened our brand new trim trail!

This fantastic new play equipment has been made possible thanks to the incredible efforts of our children, their families, our dedicated staff, and the wider community who came together to raise the funds.

The benefits of outdoor play are so important for primary-aged children. Our new trim trail will:

🌟 Support physical development, balance and coordination
🌟 Build strength, resilience and confidence
🌟 Encourage teamwork, turn-taking and problem-solving
🌟 Boost wellbeing through fresh air and active play

This project has also shown our pupils the power of community. By working together towards a shared goal, we’ve demonstrated what can be achieved when everyone plays their part. Thank you to everyone who contributed.

Here’s to many happy, active playtimes ahead! 🌈✨

We're celebrating being one of the best schools in the country! 🎉

We are extremely pleased to have received a letter from the Education Secretary, congratulating us on being one of the best schools in the country for disadvantaged children.

At Kestrel Mead, we see the full potential of every child and we work hard to ensure that all children can succeed, regardless of their starting point in life. We're proud of this recognition from the government - it is testament the work of our staff, the ambition of our students, and the brilliant support from our whole school community.

Thank you to everyone who makes our school simply the best!

We’re incredibly proud to have received a letter from the Secretary of State recognising our shared commitment to ensuring every child reaches their full potential. 🌟

This achievement reflects the dedication and hard work of our amazing staff, the excellent support of our parents, and—most importantly—the wonderful character, attitudes, and enthusiasm of our pupils.

Thank you to everyone who makes our school community such a special place. 💙

Our schools are proof that disadvantage does not define destiny.

On Friday, we were extremely proud that four of our schools received letters from the Education Secretary, congratulating them on achieving the best outcomes in the country for disadvantaged children.

The recognition for Abbey Mead Primary Academy, Kestrel Mead Primary Academy, Knighton Mead Primary Academy and Rowlatts Mead Primary Academy is a testament to the dedication of staff, the ambition of students, and the power of high-quality, inclusive education.

Thank you to everyone across our school communities who makes this possible every day. This recognition belongs to you. 👏
