De Lisle Catholic Science College, formerly De Lisle Roman Catholic Comprehensive School and sometimes called De Lisle School, is a co-educational comprehensive school in Loughborough, Leicestershire, England. At the time of its 2000 Ofsted inspection it had 1,223 pupils including 160 in the sixth form. It was designated as a science specialist school in 2003. It is currently applying for a Sports College Status, and if successful will be renamed "De Lisle Catholic Science College of Sporting Excellence". However, De Lisle is currently in £250,000 of debt due to lack of funds In 2007, the LEA announced that it would charge all those who travel to De Lisle on school buses as the school was Catholic. Many parents of children that attended the school were outraged, however the charge was put in place in September 2007. It draws the majority of its pupils from seven local Catholic primary schools, including Bishop Ellis, Sacred Heart, St Mary's, St Winefride's and Holy Cross.
