Boarding
Welcome to Boarding at Loughborough High School
Located in the heart of Loughborough, an internationally renowned university town, Loughborough High School pupils live in one boarding house, Glengairn, in the middle of a beautiful 39-acre campus. Loughborough Grammar School pupils live in two other on-campus boarding houses, Denton and School House. Boarders can access the amenities of the thriving town centre in just a 5 minute walk.
Loughborough Schools Foundation’s boarding community is a mixture of British, European and International pupils. We also have students who are members of the Loughborough University National Tennis Academy (LUNTA). Boarders value Loughborough’s central position in the country. Travel to school is simple with Loughborough train station, which has routes to London that take a mere 75 minutes, and is a 5-minute drive away. The cities of Leicester and Nottingham are less than 30 minutes away.
The schools have an inclusive outlook that values academic success, but prioritises the wellbeing of our young people above all else. We look to offer the highest standard of pastoral care and a family atmosphere. Our team of committed boarding staff, counsellors, nurses and school doctor are here to support boarders as they settle into life in our boarding community.
In addition, there are many co-curricular opportunities, including sports, music, drama, volunteering, and academic extension clubs. Boarders benefit from weekend activities and cultural visits, which makes leisure time enriching. We look to nurture independence amongst our pupil cohort so that they are thoroughly prepared for university and their future careers.
We would like to offer a very warm welcome to our schools and boarding community.

Weekly Boarding
Weekly boarding is a great option for pupils who participate widely in after school activities. It also works well for pupils who may benefit from the structured prep time every evening in our boarding houses.
Our weekly boarders typically stay with us four or five nights a week – either arriving on Sunday evening or Monday morning, before heading home after school on Friday.
For you as parents, it takes away the daily stress of juggling work, school runs and traffic. With less time spent commuting – and more homework and hobbies taken care of during the week – you can enjoy quality family time together at the weekend.
