Location As of 2008 Leicester Grammar School moved to London Road, Great Glen, a much larger site. There is one main teaching building, which includes a refectory, assembly hall (St. Nicholas), drama studio, music recital room and four wings housing all classrooms. Education Leicester Grammar provides education for approximately 810 (2012–2013) pupils aged between 10 and 18, including GCSEs and A-Levels. Some of the rarer subjects offered by the school include Ancient Greek and Latin (Latin is compulsory for years 6, 7 and 8). Sports As Leicester Grammar School was situated in the centre of Leicester, pupils were transported by bus to various sporting activities in and around Leicester, but since the 2008 relocation most sports are now played on site. Leicester Grammar School is surrounded by 75 acres of playing fields with two all-weather hockey pitches [one sand-based and one water-based], 5 rugby pitches, a dedicated cricket pitch, 8 floodlit hard tennis courts/netball courts along with a standalone pavilion with integral catering and changing facilities. The indoor sports complex offers multi-use courts for badminton, basketball and netball. Indoor cricket nets and table tennis are also available in the main hall along with a fitness suite, a gym/dance studio and a swimming pool. Over fifty teams represent the school in the major sports of Netball, Rugby, Football, Hockey, Cricket, Athletics and Tennis. A diverse range of team and individual activities form part of the extra-curricular programme. A large number of students represent Leicestershire and regularly achieve regional and international representation in a variety of sports. School teams from all age groups are winners of county and regional level competitions. The school has close relationships with Leicester Tigers, Leicester Ladies' Hockey and Leicester Men's Hockey teams, with current and past pupils representing these clubs at all levels. Houses A vertical house system complements the tutorial system. Houses meet regularly to take part in competitions and events, which provide a broad range of opportunities for healthy competition and development of team spirit. There are four houses – Dukes, Judges, Masters and Vice-Chancellors (also known as VCs). Each house has approximately a quarter of the school population and it is traditional that siblings are always allocated to the same house. Inter
