Things to note

  • Inspiring a love of learning, the curriculum is enriched through a wide-range of extra-curricular clubs. From learning how to play chess to coding robots; from ballet to learning the ukulele... there's something for everyone!
  • Leicester Grammar Junior School Summer Camp is a wonderful opportunity for pupils to enjoy a variety of activities within familiar surroundings, led by familiar faces - teachers at the school! The Summer Camp is open to any current pupils of LGJS, LGS and LGS Stoneygate from Kinders to Year 6. It is also a great opportunity for pupils who are about to join the school in Reception up to Year 6 to come and make new friends and get to know the school in a more informal situation.
  • They offer a wide range of activities to enrich the daily curriculum. The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme is available (Bronze Award starting in Year 10 and Gold in Year 12). Sixth Form students who are budding entrepreneurs can join the Young Enterprise Scheme and form their own companies. 
  • Music is an integral part of life at LGS Stoneygate.
  • Sport at Stoneygate plays a huge part in each pupil’s school life
  • Pupils visit theatres, museums and places of historical geographical interest. Years 3 & 4 children take part in an annual residential PGL trip, while Years 5 & 6 children attend an annual outward bounds residential. Biannually they organise a Senior Choir tour and a French tour. All trips and expeditions incur an extra cost.
