Brookside Primary School is a happy, thriving school in the Oadby and Wigston area of Leicestershire, situated on the same campus as Manor High School. We pride ourselves on the close links with the local community. Brookside has a real family feel and everyone who visits comments the positive vibe that flows throughout the school.

We are immensely proud of our multi-cultural school: This brings an enormous richness of culture and diversity which we make every effort to celebrate and integrate into our annual school calendar.

We are located at the edge of Leicester, adjoining open countryside, giving us delightful views of the open fields from out play areas yet able to access the cultural attractions of the city. We have three hard play areas, plus an adventure playground and a wild forest school area. We also have on site our very own indoor heated swimming pool alongside a palatial sports field.

All faiths are welcomed into the school and celebration days help everyone to gain a deeper understanding and experience of other beliefs.  The ethos within school is warm and is enhanced by our very positive behaviour management policy.  Behaviour is very good.  

We have a wide range of ethnicities in our school and we also provide a range of daytime classes for parents to enable them to support their children as effectively as possible and increase their own skills at the same time.  

All the schools in Oadby, Thurnby and Houghton Development Group work very closely together to provide support and development for everyone within our schools, enduring that we remain at the forefront of current educational practice.  

This is a happy, cohesive and aspirational school and we are looking for a talented and creative teacher to join our team and help us to continue the development of our school.

We are part of OAK Multi-Academy Trust, a partnership of schools in Leicestershire and Leicester city.

From refreshing and beautiful countryside and personable market towns to vibrant city living, Leicestershire offers a distinctive and high quality of life that will suit all lifestyles

Leicestershire is a beautiful county at the heart of England, within the developing National Forest. It is a county where you can discover completely unspoilt villages and market towns, open countryside and panoramic views with rocky summits and secluded valleys.

Leicestershire has a wide variety of attractions including Bosworth Battlefield, where the course of English history changed dramatically, Snibston Discovery Park, which recalls our industrial past, and the National Space Centre.

Loughborough, in the north of the County is at the forefront of Information Technology and Loughborough University is also the national headquarters for many sports in the UK. A number of Olympic teams will be training at Loughborough University in preparation for the 2012 Games in London, including, among others, the British Swimming Team, the British Triathlon Team, the elite British Athletes and the English Women’s Football Team.

The jet engine was invented in Lutterworth, in the south of the County, while Hinckley in the west was where the hosiery and footwear industries evolved. Ashby-de-la-Zouch, in the north-west, and Market Harborough, in the south-east, are two very attractive, historical market towns. Melton Mowbray, in the north-east, is a rural market town famous for the pork pie and for Stilton cheese.

Cosmopolitan and cultured, historic but futuristic, Leicester in the centre of the County is nothing if not varied, with its strong cultural diversity, excellent entertainment, night-life and restaurants. The newly re-developed centre of the City offers a wide range of shopping opportunities, from the largest permanent outdoor market in Europe to the extensive Highcross shopping centre.

Leicestershire is well served by many transportation networks. Four motorways (M1, M69, M42 and M6) run through the County, and there are regular trains to London, Nottingham, Birmingham and the North. For international travel East Midlands Airport is located in the north of the County, and Birmingham Airport is also easily accessible
