Loughborough Primary School in detail

Loughborough Primary School in its own words

In its own words: "No child gets lost here. We are small enough to know every child by name, by strength, and by what they need. Big expectations. For every child, every day. We teach every child they can, because we know that with the right teaching, every child can. A rounded education. Real experiences. The confidence to use both."

From the headteacher's welcome: "Every child who walks through our doors deserves to be known, challenged and genuinely prepared for whatever comes next. That is the promise we make to every family who joins us. We are a school in the middle of something exciting."

The school runs after-school care.

Coming up: an open day on Tuesday 10 November 2026, an open day on Tuesday 8 December 2026 and an open day on Tuesday 12 January 2027. Check the school's website before you go, as dates can change.
