Fossebrook is a brand-new school in Leicester Forest East. The school has grown year on year as we welcomed new children into EYFS. We now have year groups EYFS through to Y6 and the school is built to cater for 210 pupils.

We greatly value parents and families as key to children’s success in education and are particularly keen to involve you in your child’s learning, by letting parents know what is happening in class, and supporting you to be able to help your child.

“Pupils are confident and happy in the school because they know that they are valued and cared for well. Pupils who spoke with inspectors said that they feel safe in the school. They appreciate the ways in which their teachers have made it easy for them to share their worries or concerns.”- OFSED

Our ethos is firmly rooted in our belief in providing the best opportunities for all of our pupils and Fossebrook is:

• A place of discovery and wonder, full of happy, inquisitive children, who love learning and who are determined to do their best and try new things.  
• A place where we pursue high academic standards but also provide a well-balanced education, where children are given an opportunity to discover talents across the whole curriculum including in technology, The Arts, PE & Sport.  

•  A place where aspiration is key: every child will be encouraged and given their chance to shine regardless of ability or circumstances. Mistakes are welcomed as opportunities for new learning and understanding.  

• A place where learning is for all: our parents and community are welcome as our key learning partners in enabling children and families to flourish.
