General Information
Lift Beacon is a 2 to 11 aged community school in the Shelthorpe area of Loughborough.
The school originally opened in 1933 as an infant and junior school and was later amalgamated into a single school. The Nursery building was opened in 2005. The school also benefits from an extensive field space for outdoor activities. In December 2012 it became part of a network of schools sponsored by Lift Schools.
It is a larger than average-sized primary school with 309 pupils. Included in this figure, is a 40-place Moderate Learning Difficulty (MLD) resource provision for children with an Education & Health Care Plan (EHC) or a Statement of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. Our popular 80-place full-time equivalent (FTE), term-time only Nursery includes a 6 FTE Severe Learning Difficulty (SLD) resource provision.
There are various clubs and activities that take place on site during the evenings and at weekends for adults and children within the community. There is a weekly Family Learning group that works alongside one of the teachers and children in Key Stage 1. The area has good transport links and the School is close to Loughborough University. Housing is a mixture of council and affordable dwellings. This is a community that is growing as can be seen from the high numbers of pupils in Key Stage 1.
