Head of Primary's Message
Dear Parents and Carers,
As we reach the end of the first week of the final half term in the current academic year, I'd like to reflect that this year seems to have flown by, yet we still have so much to look forward to in the coming weeks.
This week our Y4 children have been completing Multiplication checks - well done to them for their great work.
Next week, our Year 1 children will completing their National Phonics Screening Check. All the teachers and support staff have been working tirelessly to help prepare the Year 1 children with this reading activity. We would all like to wish the Year 1 children the best of luck for next week. They have already demonstrated resilience and perseverance in the preparation leading up to this assessment. Parents are also invited to join in with our daily worship next week.
Looking further ahead, we have exciting learning opportunities planned for Science Week and we’ll also be dressing up for Rathayatra later this month and a final picnic on the field to enjoy in the last week. Thank you again for your continued support with your child’s education here at Krishna Avanti.
Warm regards,
Mrs. Dolby - Molson

PTFA
Dear Parents,
CAN YOU HELP US ? WE NEED YOU !
KAPS Leicester is putting together a PTFA (parents, teachers and friends association) which we hope to start in the new academic year.
We envisage our PTFA as committed and valued support to our school community; helping to organise fun, spirited initiatives that reflect our school ethos and give back to our wonderful school. Funds raised will go directly back into the school to provide resources and further enhance learning for our children.
If you are interested in finding out more or joining the PTFA, an initial AGM will be held on the 10th June 2026 at 2.00pm at school.
We would love to see as many parents as possible who are interested in getting involved, whether on an ad hoc basis or in a more regular role. Whatever time you are able to give will be greatly valued.
There are a number of positions we need to make our PTFA successful, both lead and support roles, including Chair, Treasurer, Secretary, Vice-Chair, Vice-Treasurer and Communications Officer. These roles, along with other formalities, will be discussed further at the AGM. The location will be confirmed nearer the time.
Let’s get KAPS Leicester PTFA up and running!
Please use the school email (kapsleicester@avanti.org.uk) for any enquiries or speak to your year group parent champions for more information.
Magical Moments
Every two weeks, we take time to celebrate the Magical Moments happening across our school — those special sparks of curiosity, creativity, and deep learning that make each day meaningful. Whether it’s a breakthrough in understanding, a beautifully presented piece of work, or a moment of teamwork and joy, these snapshots capture the best of what learning at Krishna Avanti is all about.
We’re proud to share and celebrate these moments with our school community!

East Leicester Athletics Competition

Leicester city Council Consultation updates: (online Survey)
Following the recent press release issued by Leicester City Council, a formal consultation will launch on 5 May 2026 and run until 12 June 2026, seeking views on proposed term dates for future academic years.
This provides an important opportunity for schools and stakeholders to help shape a term date pattern that supports pupils, families, and staff across the city. We are proposing two models, both of which retain a mid-July end to the academic year but differ in asking if a 1 week or two-week Autumn half-term holiday would be preferred.
Star of the week
Each week, we celebrate a pupil who truly embodies the values of the Avanti Way—whether it’s showing compassion, demonstrating self-discipline, striving for excellence, or fostering spiritual insight. This recognition is more than just good work—it's about living our values and inspiring others to do the same.
Well done to this week’s star for shining brightly and setting a wonderful example for us all!

Rights Respecting at Home: Article of the Week
At Krishna Avanti Primary School, we are committed to promoting and upholding the rights of every child. It is important that children understand their rights because it helps them to feel valued, safe, and empowered to reach their full potential.
Rights Respecting Article of the week:
Article 13 – Freedom of Expression
Every child has the right to express their thoughts, ideas and feelings freely through speaking, writing, drawing or any other form of communication, as long as it does not harm others.
Why it matters: Article 13 helps children develop confidence and a sense of voice. When children are encouraged to share their ideas, they feel valued and respected. In school, this supports learning, creativity and positive relationships.
At home activity: Create a “My Voice Matters” piece. This could be a drawing, short story, poem or poster about something your child cares about (e.g. kindness, the environment, friendship). Encourage them to explain their ideas and why they are important.
