Bishop Ellis Catholic Voluntary Academy, a primary school in Thurmaston, Leicestershire, is a great place to be with a very welcoming atmosphere that is given to us by our fantastic children and wonderful staff. It is my privilege to be headteacher of our super school. I sincerely hope that by looking at our website you will want to come and see our school in action and this is something you are always welcome to do.
We Remember ❤️🖤
Today, our school community came together in prayer and reflection as we marked Remembrance Day.
Our children and staff were led in a special liturgy by our School Chaplain and Miss Beall, taking time to remember and give thanks for the courage and sacrifice of those who have served their country.
We were also honoured that Mr Monaghan and our eight House Captains were invited to represent Bishop Ellis at the Remembrance Service held at Thurmaston War Memorial. Joining members of the local community, they paid their respects and laid their thoughts and prayers before those who gave so much for the peace and freedoms we enjoy today.
As a school family, we remember all those affected by war and conflict. We pray for peace in our world, now and always.
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old..."

🪔 Happy Diwali to all our families celebrating today! 🪔
Last week, our children enjoyed learning about Diwali, hearing about the traditions of the Festival of Lights and taking part in beautiful mehndi hand art.
As a Catholic school in the heart of Thurmaston, we`re proud to be part of such a diverse and welcoming community. Leicester is known for its incredible Diwali celebrations, and we love giving our children opportunities to learn about and appreciate the different cultures and faiths that make our city so special.
Different Faiths. One Family. One Community.
We wish everyone celebrating a joyful Diwali filled with light, love and happiness. ✨
📅 If you`re looking for a primary school for September 2027, we`d love to welcome you to our Open Morning on Wednesday 18th November. Come and see what makes Bishop Ellis such a special place to learn, grow and belong.

Our children loved exploring our woodland area, searching for autumn treasures, listening to the rustling leaves and discovering the wonders of nature. From finding hidden treasures to creating beautiful nature pictures, there was plenty of exploring, creativity and teamwork along the way.
We are so lucky to have our own woodland space where learning comes alive through adventure and discovery. 💚
