From the Spinney Hill Primary School
As an inclusive school, Spinney Hill Primary School strives to ensure that every student not only makes excellent progress but also enjoys their time in school. We are a city primary school that serves a diverse neighbourhood in Leicester, and we value the linguistic, cultural, and religious variety of our neighbourhood. From 3 (nursery) to 11 years old, we accept youngsters (year 6). The school was initially constructed in the early 20th century, and it has since been renovated and is in excellent condition. We sincerely hope that your children will enjoy studying in all areas of our curriculum and beyond, in addition to academic success in school. All of the staff members and our engaged Governing Body put in a lot of effort to serve the needs of all the families in the neighbourhood and are dedicated to fostering stronger ties between the home, school, and local community. We urge parents to get involved in school activities and welcome visitors to our school. Please see Mrs. Westmoreland if you would want to volunteer in your child's classroom. Please call or stop by the Reception Office if you'd like to visit the school to observe how we operate. We'll set up a time that works for both of us to meet and demonstrate how the school operates. Many of our employees are multilingual, and they will show you around if you ask them to.
