Overview

Leicester Grammar School Trust is a family of three schools rather than one large all-through campus. Leicester Grammar Junior School, LGS Stoneygate and Leicester Grammar School each have their own age range and daily setting, linked by the Great Glen community south of Leicester. The senior school serves pupils through Sixth Form, while the two younger schools provide separate routes into the wider foundation.

A Christian ethos sits alongside an ambitious academic programme, with intellectual curiosity, personal development, wellbeing, co-curricular activity and service treated as connected parts of school life. That shared direction gives the trust a recognisable character without erasing the differences between a junior school, a middle-years school and the senior school.

The senior years offer the breadth expected of a selective independent school, while sport, music, creative work and community activity give pupils ways to develop beyond lessons. The important feature of the trust is continuity with choice: a child can grow through one of the constituent schools, but each stage still has its own rhythms, relationships and expectations.

Admissions are organised by named school. Families choose the junior school, Stoneygate or Leicester Grammar School, then use the relevant contact, age range and application route. Visits are part of that process, and the practical details change according to the campus and point of entry. The result is a connected group of co-educational day schools rather than a single generic trust intake.
