Schools in Market Harborough

Bringhurst and Foxton lie at the district's rural edge.

A compact market town of around 25,000, Market Harborough anchors the Harborough district of Leicestershire close to the Northamptonshire border, where the River Welland marks the county line. East Midlands Railway services on the Midland Main Line reach Leicester in under twenty minutes from the town station. The steeple of St Dionysius' Church, raised in grey stone in 1300 without a surrounding churchyard, rises directly from the street beside the timber Old Grammar School of 1614, its ground floor still used as a covered market. Welland Park is among the most sought-after residential pockets for primary school catchments, while Lubenham and the southern villages attract families who value a quieter setting.
