Lutterworth College is a large 11–19 non-selective Secondary School and Sixth Form College with academy status, and is half of the Lutterworth Academies Trust.
It is situated alongside Sir Frank Whittle Studio School in the rural market town of Lutterworth in the district of Harborough, South Leicestershire. It is a Church of England Voluntary Controlled school.
There are approximately 1,100 pupils currently on roll, with over 300 of these being in post-16 education. About 75% of pupils travel to school by bus.
The last full Ofsted inspection was in April 2013. Overall, the college was judged to be good in all aspects. Part of the moral purpose of the college is to be judged as “outstanding” in all aspects during the next inspection.
There has been a school in Lutterworth at least since 1613 though the first part of Lutterworth College, then named Lutterworth Grammar School was built in 1880 to provide a middle class boys school for approximately 50 boarders and day scholars. The school remained an all boys grammar until 1902 when the school began to admit female pupils.
The school has grown in size from 30 pupils in 1881 to over 2000 in 2010. In 2014 numbers began to fall alongside the college's main neighbouring feeder schools, Lutterworth High School, Brockington College and Thomas Estley Community College expanding their age ranges from 11-14 to 11-16, much like the rest of Leicestershire.
In 2006, it was agreed to change the school’s name from Lutterworth Grammar School to Lutterworth College, to reflect the fact that the college "is not a selective institution, but rather an inclusive one". In September 2015 the college admitted its first cohort of Year 7 pupils.
