🌟 What happens when you step outside your comfort zone and embrace new experiences?
For Year 7 pupil Lucy, it led to unforgettable memories, stronger friendships, and a winning blog entry. Following this year`s Year 7 residential, pupils were invited to capture their experiences in a blog competition, sharing what they learned, enjoyed, and discovered about themselves along the way.
Designed to celebrate the end of a successful first year at Loughborough High School, the residential is packed with exciting activities, teambuilding challenges, and opportunities for pupils to grow in confidence while strengthening the friendships they`ve built throughout the year. We were delighted by the creativity and enthusiasm shown in all the competition entries, and Lucy`s blog stood out as a wonderful reflection of the experience.
📖 Read Lucy`s winning blog and hear first-hand how the Year 7 residential helped her challenge herself, build new connections, and create lasting memories.

Rising performing arts star 🎭 🌟
We recently sat down with Estella, a talented Year 9 pupil, to hear all about her incredible journey in musical theatre so far.
Despite her young age, Estella has already performed in world-class productions, including the West End hit Matilda and The Book Thief. Most recently, she appeared in The Secret Garden in York.
It was inspiring to hear about her experiences on stage, the dedication involved in balancing school and performing, and her passion for theatre. We’re incredibly proud of everything she has achieved and can’t wait to see where her talent takes her next!
