iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).We are delighted that our Year 2 children are loving Wellies and Worms. The children are harvesting food they planted in Year 1! Head Teacher Welcome Welcome to Mayflower Primary School, a busy, vibrant, diverse, creative, and very high performing Learning Community in the heart of the beautiful City of Leicester.
We hope that our website gives an indication of what we are all about, and that this motivates you as much as it motivates us!
We cannot wait to meet you, share some of our achievements, and explain why so many parents choose our school for their wonderful children at Mayflower, we like to look at the whole-child, recognising that there is a strong connection between how much they enjoy their schooling and the academic standards they achieve.
In 2022, we were one of the highest performing schools in the country, not because we focus on exams, but because of the creative, diverse, international curriculum we offer, where children encounter real learning experiences in the real world, with adults who care very deeply for them.
