Junior Department

LHS

Pre-School and Junior

Welcome to our Pre-School and Junior Department – the start of something exciting for girls aged 3 to 10.As a girls-only school, we create a space where girls are free to be themselves, explore their interests with confidence, and build strong friendships that support them every step of the way.

From their very first days in our EYFS Unit through to Year 5, our girls enjoy a vibrant and nurturing environment where curiosity is celebrated and a lifelong love of learning begins to grow.

Our curriculum is broad, balanced, and full of creativity. We follow the nationally recognised Cornerstones Curriculum, which brings learning to life through inspiring topics and hands-on experiences. Trips and visits are part of the journey, helping girls connect classroom learning with the wider world.

Outdoor education begins early and grows with them – from play-based learning in EYFS to adventurous residentials in Years 4 and 5, designed to develop independence, resilience, and teamwork. A wide range of clubs – including Latin, Bushcraft, Drama, Netball, and Tennis – gives every girl the chance to explore her passions.

Year 6 at Leicester High School – A Confident Step Forward
Year 6 is a key transition year as our girls prepare to move into the Senior School. As an all-through school, we’re able to offer a gradual, supported transition that helps every pupil feel confident and ready for the next stage of their education.

Girls begin the year in the Junior Department, benefitting from the familiarity and strong pastoral care it offers. As the year progresses, they move into the Senior School, taking on more senior lessons, routines and responsibilities - ensuring they are fully prepared for life in Year 7.

Throughout this time, our excellent pastoral support ensures every girl feels known, valued, and encouraged to grow into her unique, confident self.

Arrange a visit to come and see the Junior Department in action for yourself, and see what makes our girls-only environment such a supportive and inspiring place to learn.
