Fantastic achievements on the pitch!

We are incredibly proud to share the fantastic achievements of Ikjyot Kaur and Seva Singh, who recently enjoyed an unforgettable experience at Old Trafford during the Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest match.

Ikjyot was honoured with the amazing opportunity to be a mascot for Manchester United, proudly walking out onto the pitch alongside the players in front of approximately 74,000 spectators. What an incredible achievement and a memory that will last a lifetime!

To make the day even more special, both Ikjyot and Seva Singh were invited onto the pitch at half-time to take penalties against Manchester United’s mascot, Fred the Red. Seva described the experience as “a dream come true.”

We are absolutely delighted for both children and so proud of all they have achieved. Their confidence, enthusiasm and excitement truly reflect the wonderful spirit of our pupils, and we are thrilled that they had the opportunity to enjoy such a special day with their family.

A huge congratulations to Ikjyot and Seva Singh on this memorable achievement!

Children have their stories published!

Our budding writers have done it again, 48 of them have had their story published in a new book! 

We have put a copy of the book in each library for the children to enjoy, and some parents have purchased their own copy too.

Mexican Day at School!

Today pupils enjoyed a delicious Mexican-themed lunch, bringing a taste of Mexico to the dining hall. The menu included tasty chicken tacos, vegan mince tacos and jacket potatoes with assorted fillings, alongside chilli chips and a sweetcorn and pepper mix.

To finish, pupils tucked into doughnut bites with chocolate sauce or fresh fruit.

It was wonderful to see so many pupils trying something new and enjoying the vibrant flavours of the day.

A big thank you to our catering team for organising such a fun and tasty themed lunch!

Bonfire Night Menu a Huge Hit at School!

Today’s Bonfire Night menu sparked some serious excitement in the school!

Our students were treated to a fiery feast featuring Bang Bang Sausages and Fire Cracker Mash— a sizzling, delight that everyone loved — and our Snap, Crackle & Pop Cake, which brought all the festive fun with its crackling, popping goodness.

The flavours were as explosive as fireworks, and the feedback has been nothing short of glowing!

We’re so thrilled to see how much our school enjoyed these creative, delicious dishes.

Can’t wait for next year’s celebration!

Published Admission Number Consultation

Dear Parents and Carers,

I am writing to let you know that Humberstone Infant School is consulting on a proposal to reduce the number of places available in Reception from 90 to 75 starting from September 2027.

Over the past five years, the number of applications for Reception places at our school has fallen in line with local birth rates and lower pupil numbers across the city. After careful consideration we are proposing this change to ensure that the school continues to operate efficiently and that we can maintain the high quality of teaching and learning that our children deserve.

There will be no changes to our admissions criteria or to places already offered for September 2026 or earlier.

You can read the full consultation document on our school website by clicking HERE

If you would like to share your views, please send your comments to me by Monday 22nd December by email or by post to:

Email: consultation@humberstoneacademy.co.uk

FAO: Executive Headteacher.

Post: Humberstone Infant School,  Main Street, Humberstone, Leicester, LE5 1AE

All feedback received will be considered by the Trust Board before a final decision is made in early 2026.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for your ongoing support for our school community.
