About Sir Jonathan North Girls' College
- Sir Jonathan North Girls' College
- Knighton Lane East, Leicester

We are an outstanding 11-16 girls’ school that is inclusive, friendly and enriched by the diverse community that we serve. We are proud to lead Sir Jonathan North and determined to maintain our own unique ethos.
At Sir Jonathan North our simple aim is to ‘create good people’. Our goal is for students to be inspired and empowered to make a difference. In order achieve this we have a curriculum that provides both academic excellence and holistic development. We embrace every opportunity to develop the whole child.
Parents and carers often ask why they should send their daughter to a girls’ school. At Sir Jonathan North, we remove barriers to ensure that every student’s potential can be realised. Research shows that student confidence has a strong impact on academic performance. In mixed-gender classrooms, boys can often dominate discussions, and teachers can subconsciously play to boys’ strengths to get the best out of them. In our school, girls take centre stage.
Over their five year journey with us our students learn to be confident, strong, independent and resourceful young women. We place a strong emphasis on the STEM subjects, and have an excellent record for our girls continuing on to A-level in the traditionally male-dominated subjects such as physics and computing. We promote strong female role models and challenge stereotypes wherever possible through our curriculum and visiting speakers. Our newest building, which includes our trampolining hall, was named after Alice Hawkins, the famous suffragette from Leicester.
We offer a wide range of sports and our many teams regularly compete regionally and even nationally. We offer extra-curricular sports clubs every day of the week, and our high rates of sport participation bucks the national trend for girls.
The College benefited from a £9 million partial re-build as part of the national Building Schools for the Future programme which just added to the high-quality purpose-built facilities we have for each curriculum area.
