I was there from 1967 to 1970 and expected to see a lot of changes. Looks just the same. Drones really open up a new and interesting perspective. Great video.

Takes me back to the bad ass all boys school I was there 1979-82 just really remember my cross country days

Went to this (boys) school May 14th 1979 until the summer holidays, following a house move at short notice. Basically hated it, I was a right billy-no-mates, but I remember how sunny the outlook was somehow, and managing to skive off two lessons every week without being caught. I was the only one allowed to use the turning machine in woodwork and can remember going off the Shelthorpe golf course for the games lesson once a week with a lad called David Adams. Mr Weston was my form teacher and I think the Art teacher. Would love a look round inside the school again although it sounds a bit odd, I went back there in 2019, exactly 40 years to the minute I arrived there in '79 as a very anxious 13 year old. Memories are weird things.......

Loughborough College School waited all those years to leave those ramshackle buildings in the town to move to the New School now look at it, what a shame!!
