Our Headteacher's Welcome Message

Hello, my name is Mr Tamgumus (Mr T) and I warmly welcome you to the Braunstone Community Primary School website.

I am very proud to be able to call myself the Head teacher of this amazing school – SCHOOL OF THE YEAR 2021/22 (Leicestershire Live Education Awards) 🏆

As a child, I grew up on this estate and attended one of the local secondary schools. Although the ward that the school is located on is one of the most deprived wards in the whole of the country, it is certainly one of the most generous and giving communities I have ever had the pleasure of living in and now working in.

The current senior leadership team and I love working at this vibrant, busy, and exciting inner-city school which looks after and educates 437 children. We are ever ready in making sure that the children receive learning that is limitless through an enriched curriculum.

The school has a dedicated and hardworking staff who work tirelessly to support every child – striving to provide the best possible learning experiences both inside the classroom and out.

Our dedicated well-being team work at the heart of our school and provide care for the children and their families. They provide vital links between the community and us. To the school, parental involvement and engagement is paramount and, as such, families are frequently invited to come in and see what their children are learning.

Braunstone Community Primary School provides a level of togetherness, support, and care that I feel allows children to flourish. They can try without the worry of getting things wrong and know that we will always support them to find a solution that best suits them.

The staff, children and advisory board are very proud of the school’s vision which can be accessed in further detail here.

The words, Belong 🏡, Care ♥, Persevere 🦋, Succeed 🏆 feed into everything we do – on a daily basis. We feel it is this vision that will help our children to aspire to be whatever they want to allow them to choose what they want to do. We want them to know that with the right attitude (about learning, about themselves and each other), they can achieve the targets they set themselves.

Our focus area for the academic year 2022-2023 is: Independence!

The more we can help our children take ownership of their learning and for them to have a positive attitude towards learning the more successful they will be. They will be an even better version of themselves!

It is now time to move the school on to the next level! I know – how can this amazing school get better I hear you ask? We at Braunstone Community Primary School work on the premise that we can always improve. That we can always do better and with the school family working hard and pulling in the same direction – the sky is the limit!

It is vital that our children to try their best no matter how difficult things may seem. They have to continue to improve, progress and better themselves. I know that if they do this – they will definitely be successful and they will certainly be the best versions of themselves.

Working in partnership with parents is crucial if we are to ensure all of our children feel safe, happy, valued and achieve their full potential. I look forward to meeting you all in the near future, at school events, assemblies, social occasions or even a quick chat on the playground!

Yours sincerely

Halil Tamgumus (Mr T)
