I am delighted to be able to let you know that the Secretary of State for Education (via the National College for Teaching & Leadership) has accepted our application to become a teaching school from September 2014. We are the first of Leicester’s 80 primary schools to be given this important designation. Teaching schools give outstanding schools across the country (like Abbey Primary) a leading role in the training and professional development of teachers, support staff and headteachers, as well as contributing to the raising of standards through school-to-school support. This work will benefit our own staff and pupils as well as those in schools across the city. Thanks to all pupils, staff, parents and governors for their support in making Abbey the amazing school it is today.
Mr Foster (Headteacher)
