Kestrel Mead Primary Academy

About Kestrel Mead Primary Academy

Kestrel Mead Primary Academy sits well above the local authority average for its key stage 2 results, a clear standout in a city where the typical primary school sees 62% of pupils reach the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. At Kestrel Mead, that figure is 70%, placing it comfortably in the top half of Leicester’s 82 primary schools. The school’s ranking of 21st in the local authority and 31st percentile nationally confirms it as a solidly above-average performer, though not among the very top tier. Its 4% of pupils achieving the higher standard across all three subjects is modest, but the individual subject scores tell a more nuanced story: reading and maths average scaled scores of 107 and 105 respectively are both above the national benchmark of 100, and 44% of pupils hit the higher standard in reading. This suggests a school that reliably delivers strong core skills, particularly in literacy, without the very highest levels of exceptional attainment seen at the very top of the LA table.
