Judgemeadow Community College is an 11-16 mixed comprehensive school located on a sixty five acre site on the eastern outskirts of the city of Leicester. Judgmeadow serves a diverse multi-ethnic, multi-cultural community and there are currently 1374 students on roll.
Judgemeadow Community College is well led. The newly appointed Principal has a track record of successful school improvement and is well supported by a committed and passionate leadership team. As a member of The Lionheart Academy Trust the college is also supported by the executive team that provides expertise and strategic direction from the outstanding lead school Beauchamp College.
At Judgemeadow we believe in:
- Being kind and helping others
- Respecting each other
- Being organised and disciplined
- Working hard
We believe children’s behaviour in lessons should be exemplary, so that teachers can teach and pupils can work hard and learn. Behaviour in lessons at Judgemeadow is good, and a new ‘warning ladder’ and immediate centralised detention system is enabling us to further improve behaviour in lessons and around the site. Students feel safe and secure at school and trust that any issues with bullying are dealt with quickly and effectively.
We are committed to supporting colleagues in their professional development. We run regular CPD sessions in order to share up to date research in cognitive psychology and provide time for subject specialists to discuss and plan how to use effective learning strategies. We want to help our teachers to be the best they can be and fully support those who aspire to be future leaders.
We are in the process of developing an outstanding curriculum. Teaching and Learning sessions encourage staff to think about and discuss what they teach, when they teach it, why they teach it and how it is assessed. We have begun the process of overhauling our key stage 3 curriculum and are developing a 5 year curriculum to stretch and challenge all learners.
Our Personal Development Curriculum, assembly plan and tutor programme provides students with a clear education about Fundamental Values which helps to raise their awareness of what living and working in the modern world will entail. There are a range of opportunities for students to get involved in leadership roles, to plan and implement projects, to challenge bullying issues, support their local community and their college.
