A Welcome From
Key Stage 1
At Leicester Islamic Academy we are excited to introduce our Key Stage 1 (KS1) classes, where children aged 5 to 7 embark on their journey of learning and discovery. KS1 is made up of 2 classes per year group. Pathfinders and Navigators are our Year 1 classes. Inventors and Developers are our Year 2 classes.
Our KS1 curriculum is designed to foster a love of learning through a variety of engaging, hands-on experiences. We focus on a smooth and effective transition from Reception to Year 1 and then Year 2. Our main aim is building essential skills in Phonics, Maths and creativity, while encouraging social and emotional development.
In KS1, children will be supported by experienced, caring teachers and support staff who ensure each child receives the attention they need to thrive. We believe in creating a nurturing environment where every child is encouraged to ask questions, explore new ideas, and develop the confidence to become independent learners.
We look forward to working closely with parents and carers to ensure every child achieves their learning goals. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about our KS1 classes, please don't hesitate to contact us.

The school aims for pupils to be ‘British Muslim Citizens of the UK who give back to their society’. It does this well. Pupils develop a consistently strong understanding of fundamental British values and the important role that they are expected to play within these.
Ofsted Report 2025
The school is happy and cohesive. Relationships between staff and pupils are positive. Pupils are well-cared for. In return, they behave well. The school expects pupils to achieve highly. By the time that they leave school, this expectation is realised.
