These are the best schools in Leicestershire according to the Real Schools Guide 2018 Rushey Mead Academy is the best state-funded secondary school in Leicester and Leicestershire, according to a comprehensive new guide. The Real Schools Guide 2018, compiled by data analysts at Reach, Leicestershire Live's parent company, aims to give a far more comprehensive picture than traditional league tables. It takes into account 51 different data points - including not just GCSE results and Attainment 8 scores but also factors like Progress 8, pupil-teacher ratios and absence rates. The Guide, now in its sixth year, has been praised by ministers and education experts alike. Former schools minister David Laws called it 'public-service journalism in the best tradition'. This year's results put Rushey Mead Academy on top as the best school in Leicester and Leicestershire. In second place is Limehurst Academy, in Loughborough, while third is Oadby’s Beauchamp College. Madani Girls’ School, in Evington, is the city’s second best performing secondary school. Rushey Mead Academy, which has 1,687 student on its roll and is part of the Rushey Mead Educational Trust, is located within one of the most unique and diverse communities in the East Midlands. Principal Rita Hindocha said the school is committed to giving pupils a rounded education, where extra-curricular activities such as sport and music are also encouraged. She said: “The academy has a long and sustained history of success, in all aspects of provision, so that students leave as well rounded citizens poised to play an active part in British society.” .

Gartree High School, Ridgeway, Oadby (Oadby and Wigston Borough)
T DEVELOPMENT CONTROL AND REGULATORY BOARD 19 TH JANUARY 2006 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY SERVICES APPLICATION UNDER REGULATION 3 OF THE TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING GENERAL REGULATIONS LEICESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL – ERECTION OF REPLACEMENT HIGH SCHOOL WITH SPORTS HALL, ASSOCIATED FACILITIES AND EXTERNAL WORKS – GARTREE HIGH SCHOOL, RIDGEWAY, OADBY (OADBY AND WIGSTON BOROUGH) 2005/0562/08 – 17 October 2005 Background 1. Gartree High School is one of five high schools within Leicestershire built with a form of construction known as “Intergrid”. This building method dates back from the late 1950’s and has been assessed by the Building Research Establishment as providing a lifespan of approximately 50 years. Therefore the school is approaching the end of its lifespan and is in need of replacement. This application seeks to obtain planning permission for a replacement high school building, together with a new sports hall, alteration to playing field/sports pitch configuration, and the creation of a new parking area and an access road. Description of Proposal 2. The application site is located to the south of Oadby, on the southern side of Ridgeway and Howdon Road within the urban area. To the north of Ridgeway are residential properties looking onto the site. Along Howdon Road lies Devonshire Court, a elderly persons care home. Gartree is the middle of three adjoining campuses, with The Beauchamp College (14-19 year olds) to the east, and Brocks Hill Primary School (4-10 year olds) to the west. To the south of the sites is the open countryside (including land identified in the Green Wedge).

Newsletter 14 - Frid
RUSHEY MEAD ACADEMY NEWSLETTER Issue number 14 Friday 24th May 2019 Together We Make A Positive Difference 7 for 7 book challenge quiz Four top readers in Year 7 travelled to Bosworth Academy with Mrs Hamlet to take part in the 7 for 7 Book Challenge Quiz, presented by Creative Learning Services. There were five other schools participating, and although we did not win, the students performed very well and thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to test their book and general knowledge. Well done to all of the students involved - Divpreet, Shruthiy, Dnega and Maryam. Author visit - Alex Wheatle Alex Wheatle, winner of The Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize and MBE for services to literature, visited our library to talk to groups of students from years 8 to 10. He told them all about his challenging childhood circumstances, growing up in the care system, and how it led to his involvement in the Brixton riots in 1981 and the life-changing moment he discovered the power of reading. Students found inspiration in his tale, with comments such as: “Today I understood the importance of reading.” “I use to hate books until I read Alex Wheatle (‘Crongton Knights’).” “Today was interesting and inspiring. It makes me want to read. It makes me want to do something in my future.” “Interesting and reassuring. It doesn’t matter what your story is – it’s never too late to start doing what you love.” All students who attended were gifted books which they got signed by the author; they then enjoyed participating in a writing activity led by Alex.
