Loughborough High School has 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. Our subject specialist staff 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.
In 2026, 52% of our A level students achieved A*/A, with 79% achieving A*–B. 21 students achieved three As or better while 100% holding Oxbridge offers successfully met their grades and secured their places. In GCSEs 28% of grades achieved were at Grade 9. 68% of girls achieved Grade 9–7, with 14 pupils achieving six or more Grade 9s.
Students have accepted places at leading universities as well as prestigious degree apprenticeships. Alongside the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge, destinations include King’s College London, University of St Andrews, University of Warwick, University of Birmingham, Newcastle University and University of Nottingham.
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, pupils are surrounded by inspiring female role models, whether that’s fellow pupils, staff members or returning alumnae, enabling them to reach their full potential, explore their passions and create lifelong memories.
