Admissions
If you have arrived here, you and your daughter are almost certainly in the process of making a really important decision about an education which will help to shape her future.
We are as keen as you will be that you have all the information you require to make that choice a well-informed and wholly positive one.
We hope you have found this website a good introduction to High School life, but we wholeheartedly recommend you attend an Open Morning or visit on a school day for a personal tour. Together these will give you a real sense of the character and spirit of the School and an opportunity to meet our wonderful staff and pupils, see our facilities and appreciate how the High School benefits from being part of the family of Schools which form the Loughborough Schools Foundation.
Once you have visited the School, met our pupils and staff and feel confident that this could be the School where your daughter could thrive, the next step is to consider registering for the Entrance Assessments.
If you have any questions, please call us on +44 (0)1509 283800 or email high.admissions@lsf.org.

Sixth Form
Assessment for entry to the Sixth Form is by interview, reference and GCSE grades. Following a successful interview, a provisional offer of a place will be made which is dependent on:
- the receipt of a satisfactory reference from your daughter’s current school
- a sound performance in GCSE; we expect students to gain at least five grade 6s overall which should include Maths, English and a Science (regardless of the subjects to be taken at A Level). Typically, we require at least a grade 7 in subjects to be continued although this is higher in some subjects. Individual entry requirements for each subject can be found in the Options Booklet.
However, each application is considered individually and offers made accordingly.
Years 7-10
Offers for entry to Years 7-10 are sent out within two weeks of your daughter sitting her Entrance Assessment.
Parents of girls accepted for places will be asked to pay a deposit on acceptance of the place offered. The amount of the deposit is refunded to parents when a student leaves the school.
Sixth Form
You will be asked to contact us on GCSE results day to notify us of the grades your daughter has achieved and, provided she has met the requirements specified in your offer letter, the provisional offer will be confirmed straightaway. Should she not meet the entry requirements, it may be possible to offer courses in alternative subjects and we would be happy to discuss the possibilities with you.
Parents of girls accepted for places will be asked to pay a deposit on acceptance of the place offered. The amount of the deposit is refunded to parents when a student leaves the school.
In May, an induction programme is sent to all those who have accepted places.
All parents who have accepted a place will be sent a Parent Handbook and other information to assist them in preparing their daughter to start at LHS.
