As part of our Academic Scholarship Programme, a group of Year 9 boys were treated to a behind-the-scenes tour of the School. 👀🏫

Led by former Deputy Head and now Archivist, John Weitzel, the boys climbed to the very top of the Tower to see the bells produced at Taylor`s Bell Foundry and take in the stunning views across Charnwood Forest. Throughout the tour, Mr Weitzel recounted fascinating anecdotes as they ventured underground via the Sixth Form Centre (once the main school room), where they were treated to a rare opportunity to explore the cellars under the Library and computer rooms (once the science labs). This led them to the archives where they had the opportunity to examine blueprints of the buildings on the Quad 📚.

Last week, LGS careers proudly launched the first in a new series of Careers Networking Dinners – an initiative designed to connect senior pupils from both @lborogrammar and @lborohigh with accomplished alumni to provide a meaningful insight into life beyond school. The evening included chance for pupils to network with industry professionals before a panel-style session which answered some of the questions submitted by pupils in advance of the event.

Huge thanks go to everyone who attended the event and to our alumni volunteers, whose generosity and commitment made the evening possible.

Last summer, our boys experienced an unforgettable trip to South Africa where they took part in bespoke training sessions led by a range of experienced South African rugby coaches. This provided them with the unique opportunity to experience different training styles and to broaden their skill sets. Alongside rugby, they also had the chance to immerse themselves in culture, exploring the local areas and Cape Peninsula, experiencing wildlife tours and a surf lesson!

📸Specific parental permissions have been obtained for the use of these images on the School`s social media and website.

The LSF cast of Romeo and Juliet took to the stage at Leicester`s Curve Theatre last week to perform at the Shakespeare School’s Festival. Pupils in Years 9 and 10 impressed the organisers and audience with their unique production. It was a long day of working together as a team through tech and dress runs but a wonderful opportunity to perform in a professional theatre. @lborofairfield also performed ‘Twelfth Night’ and it was a special experience for students and parents alike, with all three schools performing on the same stage.

Last week, a number of our boys took part in the UKMT(UK Maths Trust) Senior Team Challenge National Final! The boys qualified 1st in their regional heat and were one of 50 teams in the final, a great achievement in itself.
The team had a great day in Manchester at the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel, where they came second place in the poster round in which the team had to produce a poster on the topic of Voronoi Diagrams. Well done to all that took part and good luck to the junior team who will be competing next!
