Due to the promotion of the current postholder, we are seeking an inspirational Principal of the highest calibre.

Joining us, you will have a track record of significant school improvement in a challenging environment as we look to you to raise standards and embed the Trust’s ethos and values into the Academy.

Queensmead Primary Academy opened its doors in November 2012 as the first primary Academy in Leicester City sponsored by the Greenwood Dale Foundation Trust - a partnership of 27 Academies across the East Midlands and Lincolnshire Coast.

The recent Ofsted inspection graded all areas as ‘Good’, commenting on the very positive learning environment and the high expectations of all pupils.

Our spacious building and extensive grounds offer some of the best facilities children and parents could wish for. We strive to continually improve and update these spaces to meet the changing needs of our learners.
