About Lutterworth College

Lutterworth College is a Church of England secondary school in the Harborough borough, operating under Leicestershire local authority. Among the 46 state secondary schools in the county, it sits alongside strong local peers including The Market Bosworth School, Manor High School, and Saint Martin's Catholic Voluntary Academy. The school is led by headteacher Dominic Lane and educates 1,559 pupils aged 11 to 19, making it a sizeable institution in the region. Its most recent Ofsted inspection rated the school as Good, a solid standing in a local authority where only one school currently holds an Outstanding grade. The school’s mixed-gender, non-selective intake and its Church of England character give it a distinctive place in the local landscape, offering a broadly inclusive option for families seeking a secondary school with a faith foundation but without academic selection.

Academically, Lutterworth College’s performance can be measured against the Leicestershire average Progress 8 score of -0.1, which provides a useful benchmark for parents. While the school’s own Progress 8 figure is not included in the available data, its Good Ofsted rating suggests it meets the required standards across teaching, leadership, and pupil outcomes. The school provides a full secondary education from Year 7 through to sixth form, so families considering it for the long term can expect continuity through to A-levels. The range of facilities, including science labs, a theatre, and a sixth form centre, supports a broad curriculum. Extracurricular offerings such as the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, debate club, and coding club indicate an effort to stretch pupils beyond the classroom, though specific exam results or university destinations are not detailed here.

For families weighing up practical considerations, Lutterworth College offers an impressive array of facilities for a state school, including a swimming pool, astro turf, tennis courts, and a chapel. Sports provision covers athletics, hockey, cricket, and martial arts, among others, while clubs extend to gardening, eco club, and orchestra. The school’s size means it can sustain a wide choice of activities, but parents should consider whether their child would thrive in a larger school environment. Admissions information is not provided, but oversubscription is common for Good-rated schools in Leicestershire. This school will particularly suit families who value a Church of England ethos, want strong facilities without private school fees, and are looking for a secondary that offers both academic and extracurricular breadth through to sixth form.
