Welcome to Broom Leys Primary School, a large primary school mainly serving the Bardon, Broom Leys and Greenhill areas of the east of Coalville. The school has a long history of serving the local community and providing the highest standard of education for the children living in this area.

We are proud of our pupils' academic achievements, which were recognised in our most recent OfSTED report, but we are just as proud of their achievements in sport, music and the arts. These all play a large part in the daily life of a child at Broom Leys. The school was one of the first in the country to be awarded the School Games Platinum Mark in recognition of our PE provision.

All schools are different but what makes Broom Leys special is its site, the facilities we can offer and the broad range of expertise of a large staff. Our facilities include a large playing field, a dedicated music room, an attractive library and two computer suites.

We know that children learn best when they feel safe and happy. Wellbeing, both mental and physical, is paramount. You never know when a child may require a little tender, loving care and to this end we provide a range of nurture activities. We also offer support from Emotional Literacy Support Assistants, a trained counsellor and a mental health practitioner.

We are pleased to have recently merged into the Lionheart Educational Trust and to work very closely with the other Trust primary schools: Highcliffe, Riverside, Hallam Fields and Brocks Hill Primary Schools. Together we are working tirelessly to ensure that all of our primary schools provide the highest quality education both academically and holistically.

I hope that you will find our website a valuable resource and that it will give you an insight into this school. Visits to the school are warmly welcomed so that you can observe first hand how it is a place where children can grow, be happy in their learning and experience success.

As a Lionheart school, we believe that  ANY young person from ANY background deserves an EQUAL chance to be successful in whatever they do’. Every child and adult at Broom Leys is encouraged to reach their full potential regardless of their background.

Each school also has a philosophy and ethos, developed over time and informed by key educational experts and research findings. These underpin the work of the school and impact on progress.

Our mission is to provide an exceptional education where children are valued, where their needs and interests are catered for and where they can flourish, exploring a rich, broad curriculum and range of life experiences.

Our school motto is ‘Together Everyone Achieves More’ and this is reflected in our aims and values.

We encourage children and adults to:

• Show respect for others and value each other as individuals
• Try new experiences and seize upon new ideas
• Take risks and learn from mistakes
• Give of their best
• Work together to be the best they can be

Our school and Trust ethos is demonstrated through the 6Rs of Respect, Responsibility, Resilience, Resourcefulness, Reflection and Reciprocity.
