LGS Stoneygate is an independent, co-educational day school for boys and girls from the age of 4 to 16 and is a member of the Leicester Grammar School Trust’s family of schools. The school was originally founded in 1856 and is one of Leicestershire’s most respected and well-regarded schools.
The Ideals in our school
At LGS Stoneygate, the Round Square IDEALS are embedded into the heart of school life, shaping the way our pupils learn, grow, and interact with the world around them. Through Internationalism, we promote cultural understanding and global awareness by teaching linguistic skills and encouraging an appreciation of both modern and classical languages from European and non-European cultures. This broadens pupils’ global perspectives and helps them recognise their place and responsibilities within an interconnected world. Democracy is explored through student voice initiatives, debates, and leadership roles that nurture active participation and respect for others. Our commitment to Environmentalism is seen in outdoor learning, eco-projects, and sustainable practices. Adventure is embraced through residentials and outdoor challenges that build resilience and confidence. Leadership opportunities are woven into everyday school life, empowering pupils to lead with integrity and purpose. Through Service, students are encouraged to contribute meaningfully to their communities, both locally and globally. These IDEALS enrich our curriculum and co-curricular activities, ensuring pupils develop not just academically, but as well-rounded, socially responsible individuals.
What being a Round Square school means to us
Being a Round Square member connects LGS Stoneygate to a global community of like-minded schools committed to developing the next generation of compassionate, forward-thinking leaders.

Round Square enhances every aspect of school life offering opportunities for leadership, collaboration, and personal growth that extend well beyond the classroom and into the wider world.
