About Badgerbrook

Badgerbrook is a very popular primary school with a reputation for high standards of behaviour and achievement. We strive to create a special place where all children, parents, governors and staff feel valued and respected and work together within a happy, friendly and caring learning community. We promote a whole school ethos of ‘No Outsiders at Badgerbrook’. The school is a place where everyone is welcome and all difference is celebrated. Our aim is that our children leave primary school happy and excited about living in a world full of difference and diversity, whether that difference is through ethnicity, gender, ability, age, sexual orientation or religion. We want everyone to enjoy coming to our school!

The school opened in 1992 with just 72 pupils. We currently have almost 420 pupils aged from 4 to 11, with 2 classes in each year group, an enthusiastic and hardworking staff and a committed governing body. We were judged Outstanding by Ofsted in 2011.

We are part of the Thomas Estley Teaching School Alliance (TELA) and work closely with a range of schools across South Leicestershire. Working with TELA and The University of Leicester we offer training opportunities for student teachers. We also work with North Warwickshire & South Leicestershire College and Leicester College to provide classroom placements for their students.

We are in the process of setting up a new PTA to organise a range of fund-raising and social events. Any parent, grandparent, friend of the school will be welcome to join.

We hope that you find your visit to our website helpful, and that you find the information you are looking for. Please feel free to contact the school direct with any queries you may have.

Latest News

We still hope to be able to go ahead with the Christmas performances by following the Local Authority guidance. Adults in school will be expected to wear face coverings and we will be providing as much ventilation as possible. Also, we would like you to take a lateral flow test before you come to a performance.

Please do not attend if you have tested positive (or have experienced symptoms) for COVID-19 within 10 days of the start of the event. Staff, parents or visitors who feel unwell must not attend the event. We will turn away anyone with COVID-19 symptoms.

As a school we reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone who is reasonably believed to display COVID-19 symptoms, or who may not have followed government rules, event rules or entry requirements. If we have any reason to doubt that anyone is not complying with these rules, we will ask you to leave the event.

If you develop COVID-19 symptoms onsite, you should continue to wear a face covering and identify yourself to a member of school staff. You (and your party and other close contacts who are not fully vaccinated) will be asked to go home to self-isolate, unless you need to be transported to hospital for treatment.

COVID-19 has not gone away, and now we may be facing the Omnicom variant, so it’s important to remember the actions you can take to keep yourself and others safe. Everybody needs to continue to act carefully and remain cautious.
