Senior Years 10-11

Senior Years

Through Years 10 and 11, our girls really begin to shape their futures and carve their own paths. High School girls have more choice and flexibility today than ever before. They follow their strengths, passions and interests in a flexible and balanced curriculum across a broad range of subjects. Classes shared with like-minded individuals, interesting trips and the opportunity to show excellence in nationally recognised awards are just some things that help to create a very different feel to life in Lower School. 

Studying GCSEs at Loughborough High School is a wholly unique and rewarding experience. Girls enjoy academic opportunities within the classroom but have the chance to socialise and work collaboratively with boys from Loughborough Grammar School, a combination certain to make many lasting memories. 

Thursday afternoons become a hive of enrichment opportunity across the Foundation campus as pupils join together with Loughborough Grammar School. As ever, choice is always important. The offer of the highly regarded Combined Cadet Force (CCF) provides pupils the opportunity to develop new skills and be challenged in very different ways. Alternatively, options include additional GCSEs such as Additional Maths or Music, Level 2 Sports Leadership or even an independently led Higher Project Qualification researching and presenting on any topic, as unique and imaginative as the individual! 

There is an increasing focus on careers and lifestyle, and pupils benefit from regular support sessions and visits from outside speakers to help prepare them for the future. Pupils working towards the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award develop independence by participation in challenges outside of school and get involved with volunteering in the community, sport and learning new skills. There is also the opportunity to participate in a wide range of sports within School and to use our newly built gym for recreation.
