A family of schools on a co-ed campus
Our family of independent schools in Loughborough is set within a beautiful, co-educational campus, home to around 1,800 pupils aged from six weeks to 18 years. Students benefit from outstanding facilities, including a purpose-built Music School, cutting-edge STEM resources, Forest School adventures and a vibrant co-curricular programme.
Shared events across the Foundation are a highlight of campus life, with memorable occasions such as the annual Spring Concert at De Montfort Hall in Leicester bringing our co-ed community together in celebration.
Sport is a key part of our culture. Exceptional facilities and expert coaching, led by current and former professional athletes, help pupils develop their skills and reach their full potential. Our Sport Scholarships and Student Athlete Programme are designed to support talented athletes ready to take their sport to the next level.
All of this is made easily accessible thanks to our wide catchment area and well-established transport network, connecting families across Leicestershire and the East Midlands.

The Best of Both Worlds: A Co-Ed Campus
While our Nursery and Prep School are co-educational, pupils in our Senior Schools benefit from single-sex education within a co-educational campus environment.

Shared experiences such as the Combined Cadet Force, music and theatre productions foster collaboration and mutual respect. This unique structure provides a dynamic and inclusive learning environment that prepares young people for life beyond school.

Here, children are seen, known and celebrated.
