Sir Jonathan North Community College


Sir Jonathan North College is an all-girls school in Leicester, United Kingdom for girls between the ages of 11-16 and was founded in 1904 by Rev. David Field, a wealthy land owner from Wigston. The current building was opened in 1937 and consisted of what is now known as the Macaulay building. This was surrounded by playing fields most of which are now covered with new buildings - the old Latimer building was erected in the 1970s, the Wycliffe building was erected in 1996, the De Montfort Building was erected in 2004, the Knighton Tennis Centre was erected in 2008, and the new Latimer building was erected during the BSF period in 2014. The school was awarded Specialist school status for visual arts, science and mathematics, and vocational learning. In 2016 they were awarded the World Class Schools Mark by OFSTED. There are around 80 teachers at the school and 1,200 students.
