The Grammar School was founded by a priest paid to pray for the soul of wool merchant Thomas Burton who died in 1496 (though it is often credited as 1495). The school moved to its present location in 1850, when it was then on the outskirts of town. A sister school, Loughborough High School for day girls only was also founded in 1850. A shared preparatory school, Fairfield Preparatory School, was founded in c.1980. Together these schools are collectively known Loughborough Endowed Schools and shared a board of governors.

The Grammar School has playing fields in Quorn, that it bought in the 1990s and like grammar schools plays rugby union and cricket, having given up football about 1910.

The Grammar School takes boys from 10+ through to sixth form, the major intake being in the first year. The school has a house system of four houses named after notable old boys; Abney, Davys, Pulteney and Yates; the houses are traditionally given equal standing.

The school has an active Combined Cadet Force which provides many armed forces officers, as well as a Scout troop, and active Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme. Cadets are taught how to use firearms against an imaginary enemy. School assemblies continue the promotion of Christian values. The school has also produced many junior bridge internationals.

The school celebrated its quincentenary in 1995 and was visited by HM The Queen. L.G.S. is also famous for expelling the war hero Air Vice-Marshall Johnnie Johnson.

The current headmaster is Mr Paul Fisher.

Notable old Loughburians

It has an old boys' association, the Old Loughburian's Association (OLA). Notable Old Loughburians include:

  • Rev. George Davys educator of Queen Victoria, later Dean of Chester and Bishop of Peterborough.
  • Johnnie Johnson (1915-2001) WWII flying ace
  • Peter Preston journalist
  • Marcus Rose, (born 1957) former England rugby union international full-back
  • Ben Hammersley, computing journalist.
  • Felix Buxton, one half of the dance duo Basement Jaxx, who recently was guest speaker at the Grammar School's Prize Giving
  • Mark Collett, neo-nazi. Currently in court undergoing trial for incitement to racial hatred.

Vendors target kids with convenience
From DSN Retailing Today, 8/22/05 by Mike Duff

Given the degree of change in produce departments today, vendors are confronted with cyclical opportunities to introduce innovative new products that focus on emerging trends.

Welch's, for one, has partnered with FreshXtend to debut a new line of single-serve seedless grapes on the stem. Packaged in a clear plastic 5-ounce cup, the product line includes red and green varieties at a price point between $1.69 and $1.79.

Convenience-oriented, the package fits in most car cup holders. Modified-atmosphere technology provides an extended shelf life up to 17 days for red grapes and up to 12 days for green grapes.

"It's perfect for people who want more fresh fruit in their diet and are looking for an easy and convenient solution," said Paul Klutes, product manager of new ventures for Welch's.

Of course, a lot has been said about children's wellness and to address that issue Nickelodeon has licensed several of its most popular TV characters, including SpongeBob SquarePants and Dora the Explorer, to fresh produce distributors who are rolling out a wide range of fruits and vegetable packages featuring the Nickelodeon characters in supermarkets next month.

Grimmway Farms is producing 1.6-ounce single serving to 5-pound bags of baby cut and peeled carrots in packages featuring SpongeBob SquarePants among others. Additionally, Boskovich Farms will distribute SpongeBob on its bags of spinach and LGS Specialty Sales will feature SpongeBob, Dora, Blue's Clues and The Backyardigans characters on its bags of oranges, tangerines and clementines.
