About De Lisle College Loughborough Leicestershire
De Lisle College sits within Leicestershire’s large secondary landscape, one of 46 state schools of its type in the local authority. It is a Roman Catholic mixed school for pupils aged 11 to 18, located in the Charnwood borough of Loughborough. Among its local peers, it ranks behind The Market Bosworth School, Manor High School, and Saint Martin’s Catholic Voluntary Academy, the latter being another Catholic secondary in the area. With 1,340 pupils on roll, it is a sizeable institution. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection rated it Good overall, a solid standing in a local authority where only one secondary school currently holds an Outstanding grade. The headteacher, Chris Maher, leads a school that serves a broad community, balancing its Catholic character with a mixed intake. The school’s position in the local hierarchy gives parents a clear benchmark: it is a well-regarded option but not the top-ranked in its immediate vicinity.
