Welcome to Loughborough Amherst School
Headmaster
Mr James Neville MA (Oxon), MPhil (Cantab)
Welcome to Amherst.
Ours is a caring, vibrant and inspiring community, where pupils' enthusiasms and creativity shine through in every aspect of school life. We warmly encourage you to visit us in person and experience for yourself what makes our school community so special.
We are dedicated to creating an environment where every pupil has the opportunity for long-term academic, spiritual and moral development within a fulfilling and happy environment.
We encourage and challenge every pupil to become the very best version of themselves and aim to help parents in their task of nurturing confident, compassionate and happy young people.
Originally founded in 1850 as a Catholic girls' school, in 2019 we became Loughborough’s only co-educational independent school for children aged 4-18 years. As part of the Loughborough Schools Foundation since 2015, our pupils benefit from sector-leading music, performance and sports facilities.
I am confident that, having met our staff and pupils and seen all that we have to offer, you will agree that our school combines the best of tradition and contemporary thinking to provide a rounded education of the very highest quality.
