🏁 We've always known our pupils like a challenge. This week they took that challenge to the Scalextric4Schools National Finals.

Our Design & Technology pupils headed to the national finals after months of designing, testing, tweaking and refining their race cars and pit displays.

After presenting their work to the judges, both teams went on to compete against schools from across the country, with both securing a place in the final 12. Herons Motorsport put their foot down and claimed 3rd place overall in the Fastest Lap event. To top it off, the team also received the Boxford Engineering Award in recognition of their outstanding engineering work.

A huge congratulations to all pupils involved. The awards, prizes and bragging rights are thoroughly deserved. 

If your son is looking for a Sixth Form where academic excellence goes hand in hand with ambition, determination and a healthy competitive streak, Loughborough Grammar School could be the perfect fit.

Places are available for 2026/27. Visit our website to find out more.

Engineering isn’t just about what you learn in the classroom  — it’s about the time ⏱️ you spend creating, problem-solving, and developing real-world skills.

Having access to the department both during and after school provided the perfect environment to work on projects, study, and build confidence. Those experiences helped shape a clear path into engineering and ultimately confirmed a passion for the automotive industry 🏎️

On Sunday, 14 of our Combined Cadet Force (CCF) cadets took part in the Leicestershire, Northamptonshire & Rutland (LNR) Army Cadet Force Cadet Sunday event, hosted here at Loughborough Grammar School.

Held for the first time in 30 years, the event celebrated the achievements and dedication of cadets and adult volunteers across the region and is set to become an annual tradition.

Cadets and staff showcased a wide range of skills, leadership, and teamwork through demonstrations including fieldcraft, first aid, communications, expeditions, foot drill, and more.

Reflecting on the day, Contingent Commander Lt Col Ben Ward said:
"It was a real privilege to be working alongside our ACF counterparts at this wonderful event. The development of young people's confidence, resilience, and aspirations was truly palpable."

A fantastic day celebrating achievement, service, and the next generation of leaders. 👏

Highlight of the term so far?! 🎖️

The CCF Annual Review is one of the biggest events in our school calendar and a proud showcase of cadet discipline, leadership and skill. From precision parades and drills to exciting field activities, the event celebrated the commitment and resilience of pupils across the Navy, Army and RAF sections.

Guests also enjoyed impressive performances from the Corps of Drums, alongside formal inspections by military officials, making the occasion both memorable and inspiring.

We were especially honoured to welcome Colonel Simon “Reggie” Turner of the Royal Marines, and proud Loughborough Grammar School alumnus, as our special guest for the Review. His visit highlighted the lifelong leadership and character-building opportunities the CCF provides.
