Established in 1495, Loughborough Grammar School is one of the top 10 independent schools in the East Midlands for academic excellence, a place where ambitious boys belong. The school welcomes boys at age 10 into Year 6 and is proud to have its first female Head in 528 years. The boys are championed to become great men, well-equipped to navigate the future.
We are serious about learning but, we have fun in pursuing knowledge. Success for a boy in education is organically linked to supportive and inclusive pastoral care, which is a great strength of Loughborough Grammar School.
Our academic excellence is evident in our exam results and leaver destinations. In 2023, the school achieved 59% achieved grades 9-7 at GCSE and 47% attained A* or A grades at A-level. In the same year 62% of Loughborough Grammar boys got into their first-choice university with five boys being awarded a place at Cambridge and three at Oxford. Our boys have the benefit of extensive counselling when choosing universities, and our Director of Future Pathways is one of the first worldwide to become a Timers Higher Education accredited counsellor.
We are constantly encouraging boys to discover their talents and they often surprise themselves with how they respond to the challenges outside the classroom. We have a legendary programme of co-curricular activities, boasting around 140 clubs and societies from Beast Club to Rugby Club and a huge variety in between. Alongside the Foundation’s unique Combined Cadet Force offering, these build camaraderie and ignite passions which lead to careers, hobbies and above all the personal qualities that stay with the boys for life.
Our rich sporting tradition offers a wide range of opportunities for boys to excel, develop teamwork, and cultivate a lifelong passion for physical activity. Our major sports include rugby, hockey, cricket, tennis, athletics, football, and cross-country. We also offer Player Pathway Programmes for talented sportsmen, and have recently launched the Student Athlete Programme, which provides bespoke mentoring and support for elite athletes who are looking to carve out a career in performance sport. Beyond sport we offer a diverse array of activities to cater to every interest, there is something for every boy at Loughborough Grammar School.
We offer boarding on a termly, weekly and flexible basis and the success of our boarding community has been an enriching part of Loughborough Grammar School for much of its long history. Our boarders benefit from an award-winning cultural programme which includes a series of events and activities, introducing our international students to British culture and traditions.
Loughborough Grammar School is part of The Loughborough Schools Foundation, a foundation of four schools which operate under one governing body. This means that our boys benefit from exceptional shared facilities, including our acclaimed 'All-Steinway’ School Music department, cutting-edge STEM resources, a team of outstanding educators, diverse co-curricular programmes, excellent sports facilities, top-level coaching, nutritious catering, and a comprehensive transport service within our extensive catchment area.
