Welcome message from the Head
About Loughborough High School
Welcome
We are delighted that you are considering Loughborough High School for your daughter and we hope that you will enjoy discovering what makes it such a wonderful place to learn. We have been educating brilliant, fearless and forward-thinking young women since 1850 and our aim is to empower every student with the confidence, skills and knowledge to step into the future of her choice, whatever that may be.
We are, first and foremost, a proudly academic school and are consistently ranked amongst the best in the region. More importantly, we are a school with a love of learning at its heart and we want every girl to feel a sense of awe and wonder through our rich and varied curriculum. On any given day, you will find pupils engrossed in creating beautiful artwork, deciphering ancient Greek texts, designing a space station, pitching a business idea or performing in our nationally acclaimed music department. Every one of my colleagues is an expert in their subject and they not only help pupils to achieve academic success but develop in them the critical skills, emotional intelligence and resilience needed to negotiate life in the 21st century.
Developing the leaders of the future is central to our vision and so much at LHS is led by students themselves, from whole-school assemblies to our vibrant Culture Week, Arts Night and the student wellbeing committee. Girls take the lead in the co-curricular life of our school, too, whether running one of our many lunchtime clubs, directing younger students in a play, or leading their team to national success in sport. At LHS, your daughter will see girls leading and succeeding in every sphere and will discover that no limits are placed upon her own ambitions.
What makes us unique is that students benefit from our expertise in girls’ education and pastoral care while being part of a wider, co-educational campus. We work closely with our fellow Foundation schools and this allows us to offer a real breadth of opportunity, from joint drama productions and the combined cadet force to first-class concerts and energetic political debates. It really is the best of both worlds.
It is a great privilege to be head of a school that radiates such warmth, energy and a sense of enjoyment and I warmly invite you to see for yourselves the many opportunities that we can offer your daughter.
