2 LOUGHBOROUGH GRAMMAR SCHOOL
Welcome from the Headmaster
I would like to extend a very warm welcome to
Loughborough Grammar School. This is a vibrant
school for high achieving boys who like to be busy
and fulfilled. Academic achievement will always be
our central focus, but with an abundance of first-class
facilities and outstanding staff, we deliver an excellent
all-round education.
At Loughborough Grammar School, the division between the
academic and the extra-curricular is far from absolute. In fact,
everywhere I look beyond the classroom I constantly discover a
school bursting with activity, where boys have huge respect for the
varied talents of their peers. It is this happy fusion of work and
play and everything in-between that is, in my view, our implicit
hallmark. As a result, we find that pupils learn a great deal when
they do not think they are learning at all, especially when they are
enjoying themselves in pursuits they have freely chosen.
This is what happens when young minds meet in a place where
learning is valued for its own sake. Our boys encounter far more
than is required for examination success. During their journey
through the School, they have unparalleled opportunities
to develop their passions and skills so that they get to know
themselves. This is what sets them apart from so many others
and enables them to thrive as young adults who are resilient and
understand their responsibilities to society.
