Medway Community Primary
Our Head Teacher's Welcome
The staff here like to say Medway is in our DNA. I for one, am the son of a former Medway headteacher and Ms Miah, one of the school's deputy head, used to come to this school. I believe this gives us unique insights into how this school has become, over the many years it has stood, a bright beaming beacon of hope, compassion and success.
We are a mixed-gender local authority primary school catering for children aged 3-11. Our school is located within the 'Highfields' community of Leicester. Pupils come from a wide variety of religious and cultural backgrounds which we value and celebrate throughout the year and through our curriculum. We are all an equal part of the Medway Primary School Community and we believe that experiencing and embracing the diversity of our school community is culturally enriching for our students.

Children hear more modelled English than traditional in primary school. As the children develop oracy and collaborate more, they learn quicker, and, when they leave, do very well.
Governors have made sure that there are staff who can go the extra mile when a family needs help. Parents and carers are very positive about the school. Typically, they make comments such as: ‘I just wish all schools could be like Medway; my child really feels part of the Medway family.’
Pupils are immensely proud of their school. They confidently explain the core values of ‘belonging, knowledge, trust and equality’. They talk about how they live these values every day. They show respect for each other and celebrate everyone’s differences.
Books such as Great Expectations, The Iliad and the Epic of Gilgamesh promote great literature and the school highlights excellent art and poetry on the wall.
