Statement of principles

Statement of principles

We welcome everyone and we respect everyone for who they are. We work together to become curious, kind and brave. We are one family, and everyone is known and valued.

The following are the six principles upon which boarding at Loughborough High School is based:

1. To provide boarding facilities for students as part of the Loughborough University National Tennis Academy (LUNTA) partnership, as well as others whose parents have requested it and who are in agreement with the aims and objectives of the School
2. Being an open and trusting school, boarding is based upon mutual respect for all members.
3. Each boarder has the right to be able to work, play and relax free from abuse, intimidation, harassment, teasing and bullying.
4. There is equality of opportunity and respect for all boarders, regardless of ethnicity, culture, gender or disability.
5. Each boarder has the right to extend their intellectual growth in an atmosphere of positive encouragement and in conditions that are conducive to work.
6. Links with parents/carers, LUNTA staff and the Lawn Tennis Association are seen as an indispensable part of the support and development of boarders in our school.

Statement of Intent

Boarding enables pupils to attend Loughborough High School, whose family location/situation would otherwise make the school inaccessible. It also allows high-performing tennis athletes, on the LUNTA pathway, to combine elite tennis coaching with a broad academic education.

Boarders are part of a larger community of domestic and international Boarders in Loughborough Grammar School’s Houses, Denton and School House.

Glengairn House provides a comfortable, safe and caring term-time home, where each Boarder should feel of value, and can be helped to achieve all to which they aspire through a range of social contact, academic support and compassionate guidance.
