What the school inspection says

Verdict
Excellent-good
“Founded on Catholic principles, the school aims to welcome and respect everyone for who they are and seeks to enable pupils to work together to become clever, kind and brave. Pupils achieve good and sometimes excellent standards across the school from a very diverse range of starting points. Pupils enjoy high levels of success and develop their own interests and talents in extracurricular and out-of-class activities. Pupils are proud of their school and have an extremely well-developed level of maturity by the time they move on to education, training or employment. Leavers are very well prepared for the next stage of heir lives and are confident to take on their future challenges.”

About the school

  • The co-educational day and boarding school for pupils aged 4-18 is Catholic but welcomes all faiths. As such, the Religious Studies GCSE is compulsory.
  • The headmaster James Neville, who moves to Loughborough Grammar School in February 2025, says: “We aim to add an average of one grade at GCSE and a half-grade at A-Level to every pupil’s results, thereby equalling the academic achievements of the very best schools in the country.”
  • Loughborough Amherst is proud of its “All-Steinway” status, which gives pupils access to the finest pianos. Other facilities in the music department include two top-of-the-range recording studios.
