Be Kind. Work Hard. Strive for Excellence.
At Knighton Mead we are committed to fostering a culture of belonging, where every member of our community feels valued, respected, and empowered to thrive.
Our approach prioritises clarity, consistency, and inclusivity, ensuring that all stakeholders—staff, pupils, and parents—understand and embody our shared expectations.
Core Values:
At the heart of our vision lie four pillars:
- Behaviours for Learning:
We recognise that a conducive learning environment is essential for academic success. Therefore, we expect all members of our school community to demonstrate behaviours that facilitate learning, such as active listening, cooperation, perseverance, and respectful engagement with peers and educators.
- Character Development:
Beyond academic achievements, we are committed to nurturing the holistic development of our pupils’ character. We value qualities such as empathy, resilience, integrity, and kindness. Our curriculum and ethos are designed to instil these virtues, fostering well-rounded individuals who contribute positively to society.
- Communication with all:
Effective communication is the cornerstone of healthy relationships and a harmonious school environment. We encourage open, honest, and respectful communication among all stakeholders—listening attentively, expressing thoughts and feelings constructively, and resolving conflicts peacefully.
- Contributions to the Community:
As active members of the Leicester community, we believe in the importance of giving back and making a positive impact. Our pupils are encouraged to participate in community projects, demonstrate good citizenship, and embrace diversity, thereby enriching both their own lives and the lives of others.
In embracing a culture of belonging rooted in kindness, respect, and accountability, we aspire to cultivate a generation of compassionate, resilient, and socially responsible individuals. By fostering positive behaviours driven by intrinsic motivation and a genuine desire to contribute to the common good, we lay the foundation for lifelong success and fulfilment.

Knighton Mead Behaviour Policy 2024
We use Character Muscles to develop our understanding of character and how to be the best version of ourselves.
At Knighton Mead, Everyone is Welcome. We uphold the British Values and celebrate differences as we know they are what make us special and unique. We use the No Outsiders: Everyone’s Welcome approach across the school. This is a picture book led, age-appropriate approach to celebrating diversity in our society. The beautiful books range from Reception to Y6 and address topics such as gender, sexuality, race and disabilities.
