"At Linden, we aim to create memorable learning experiences that will make a positive contribution to the life of our community."

Linden Primary School is a large, multicultural primary school serving the Evington Area of the city of Leicester. We currently have approximately 469 pupils on role, aged from 3+ to 11 years. This includes 52 children who have part-time places in the Foundation Stage 1 class - Nursery.

The school was built in 1953 and is set in attractive, spacious grounds. There are two large halls where we do P.E., have assemblies and hold social functions. We also have two dining halls that allow our pupils to eat comfortably. There is an ICT suite, a mini ICT suite, a library and a kiln room.  

We have two good-sized hard-surfaced playgrounds for children, which are divided into different play areas, and for which we provide a variety of games equipment. The Foundation 1 and 2 classes have a separate, fenced, outside play area. The playing fields are also available for sporting activities as well as at break times. There is a Wild Garden, a Sensory Garden and a copse which are used for outdoor learning, our Science Curriculum and Environmental Studies. in 2010, we planted 35 more trees to the 60 tress already planted as part of our "Linden Forest".

The Governors and Staff of the School agree that our core aim is to enable each child to attain his or her maximum potential within a happy and disciplined school environment. We aim to help children develop:

- Lively, enquiring minds and a love of learning; the ability to question, to argue rationally and to think for themselves;

- The ability to work hard and to succeed at tasks; to work independently and with other people;

- A sense of self-respect, self-confidence and self-reliance; an awareness of and a sensitivity to the needs and views of others; the ability to accept responsibility for their own actions;

- The knowledge, skills and practical abilities they will need throughout their lives, at work and play, in a fast-moving world;

- A reasoned set of personal attitudes, values and beliefs; an understanding of the world and their place in it; a respect for the religious and moral values of others
