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.

🎉 51 Humberstone Pupils to Be Published in Monster Mini Tales – Wild Wonders! 📚

51 Humberstone Pupils to Be Published in Monster Mini Tales – Wild Wonders!

We are absolutely delighted to announce that 51 pupils from Humberstone Academy have been selected to have their creative writing published in the latest Young Writers anthology, Monster Mini Tales – Wild Wonders!

This exciting national competition invited young authors to write miniature stories filled with imagination, adventure, and “wild wonders” — and our pupils certainly rose to the challenge. From magical creatures and faraway lands to daring heroes and unexpected twists, the stories submitted were bursting with creativity and originality.

Having 51 pupils selected for publication is an incredible achievement and a testament to the passion and talent for writing here at Humberstone. Each of the selected stories will be professionally printed and available in a published anthology later this term.

We’ll have copies in school for all the children to enjoy, and we know our pupils will be excited to read the work of their classmates — and maybe even be inspired to pick up a pen themselves!

A huge congratulations to all our newly published authors — we are so proud of you! Keep writing, keep imagining, and who knows where your words might take you next?
