The Loughborough Schools Foundation traces its roots back to 1495 with the opening of the Grammar School in Loughborough's Parish Church. More than five centuries later, the Foundation looks back on this history with pride, but looks to the present and beyond as a progressive family of schools and a cornerstone of the community as one of the largest employers in the thriving University town.
Today, the Foundation comprises a Nursery, a Prep School and two Senior Schools, offering high quality education from six weeks through to eighteen years. Each School has its own identity and traditions, but they are united by shared values and a strong sense of community where every pupil is known and supported.
The Loughborough Schools Foundation employs approximately 750 staff in both teaching and support roles. The three Heads are responsible for the management of educational activities whilst business aspects of the Foundation are managed by the centralised functions of finance, estates, health & safety, catering, the network services, human resources and the development office.
The schools enjoy a very high reputation for their academic, cultural and sporting achievements, and for the quality of their pastoral care. Situated at a very pleasant 39 acre campus on the south side of Loughborough.
