located between the villages of Markfield

. The school was established in 1935 thus various additions to the school have been made since. The current headmaster is Mr. Andrew Morris.
In 1975, the school began enrolling pupils at the school one year prior than the usual transfer system. Pupils transfer from locations situated in the catchment area, such as; Markfield
, Thornton
Many pupils are also from bagworth, Stanton-under-Bardon, and Leicester Forest East
. However, the school admits youngsters from areas outside catchment. Furthermore, there are currently over 600 pupils attending the school. Students leave when aged 14, and usually transfer to Bosworth Community College or Groby Community College.
An inspection early in 2005 described the school to be good as of gathering the idea that the school has high standards and achievement, as well as student support. In 2010, the school was rated 'outstanding' overall by Oftsted.
