Lutterworth is a bustling market town in central England, a region referred to as the East Midlands. It is situated approximately twelve miles south of Leicester’s city centre and just over six miles north of Rugby in Warwickshire, which has the nearest train station. Here, there are four hundred plus weekly scheduled trains to London stations, on average taking a little over an hour. The closest airports are the East Midlands Airport and Birmingham International Airport, which welcome multiple international flights per day.

Today, and since 1964 when it was first constructed, the M1 can be accessed east of Lutterworth at junction 20 and to the south lies the M6. A southern bypass provides a route away from the town centre for traffic from the M1 travelling to the A5 on the A4303. Further afield, there is a wider network of transport links stretching across the Midlands and Lutterworth is within a short distance of Warwickshire and Northamptonshire.

Evidence of a settlement on the site of Lutterworth can be traced as far back as the Anglo Saxon period and in The Domesday Book of 1086, it was recorded in the Old English as Hlutre Worth. The town was granted its market charter in 1214 by King John. The town claims fame for two unique reasons. The first being that the religious reformer John Wycliffe – rector at the parish church St Mary’s from 1374 to 1378 – translated the Bible from Latin into English and the second, dating from the twentieth century is that Sir Frank Whittle engineered the first jet engine nearby. A memorial to him is located on a roundabout in the town where a model of the first jet aircraft, the Gloster E.28/29 is proudly displayed.

Lutterworth is in the LE17 postcode district and falls within the local authority of Harborough. It is intersected by the old Roman roads of Watling Street and Fosse Way, being quite close to High Cross, the centre of Roman England. During the period when stagecoaches provided public transport these roads proved invaluable and Lutterworth still has coaching inns - The Shambles and The Greyhound Coaching Inn to name but two – that catered for those travelling to Oxford or London. Today, national bus companies serve the commuter well, offering daily cross county routes.

As a market town, Lutterworth can boast of many uniquely bespoke shops, restaurants, sports venues, public houses, cafes and parks, plus edge of town super stores and retail hubs. Sports provision nearby includes gyms, cricket, bowling and two football teams: Lutterworth Athletic and Lutterworth Town afc. The Village Hall is a Grade II listed building and hosts many community events, catering for a diverse array of groups. For an even greater variety of entertainment including theatres and museums, the cosmopolitan city of Leicester with its diverse cultural influences is on hand. For local days out the Lutterworth museum, Stanford Hall or Warwick Castle provide seasonal activities but there are many places to visit within the area to cater for all ages, tastes and interests.

Within the locality, there is primary educational provision for younger children at John Wycliffe Primary School and Sherrier Primary School. Secondary provision is at Lutterworth High School (11-16 years) and Lutterworth College (11-18 years). However, this central location provides many catchment schools offering educational facilities for nursery, primary, and secondary aged children, including private establishments. The Office for Standards in Education - ofsted – is best researched to provide a comprehensive review of currently rated standards of practice
