Leicester Grammar School (often abbreviated to LGS) is a private co-educational secondary day school situated in Great Glen, Leicestershire, England. It was founded in 1981, after the loss of the city's state-funded grammar schools.
Leicester Grammar School is closely affiliated with Leicester Grammar Junior School and Stoneygate School, and in general the majority of Junior School leavers are accepted by the senior school.[2]
The school has just over 90 teaching staff and 830 pupils,[3] all of whom are day-students. It has its own preparatory form for children in Year 6, and its own sixth form for Years 12 and 13. Each student at the school is a member of a house, allowing a system of inter-school competition in sports and other pastimes such as chess, general knowledge and music.
