"A warm and welcoming school"

We've been at Caldecote for three years now, and we just can't sing its praises enough. The values of Care, Challenge, Persevere, Succeed are truly lived out every day, and my child has thrived in this supportive environment. The staff are all so kind and dedicated, and the facilities are excellent. We feel so lucky to be a part of the Caldecote community!

"A true gem of a school"

We've been at Caldecote for six years now, and it's been an absolute pleasure. The school is a true gem - the teachers are all so dedicated, the facilities are excellent, and the values of Care, Challenge, Persevere, Succeed are genuinely at the heart of everything they do. My son is going to miss it so much when he moves on to secondary school!

"A great experience so far"

We're really happy with Caldecote so far. My son's teacher is amazing, and the extra-curricular activities are engaging and fun. The school values of Care, Challenge, Persevere, Succeed are great, and I love seeing them in action. The only thing that keeps me from giving it 5 stars is the occasional issue with communication from the school office.

"A great start in life"

We moved to Leicester a few years ago and chose Caldecote for my daughter's primary education. From the moment she started reception, we knew we'd made the right choice. The nursery has a wonderful atmosphere, and the staff are all so passionate about their work. We're so grateful for the solid foundation Caldecote gave our daughter as she started her educational journey.
