Lancaster Royal Grammar School

Lancaster Royal Grammar School is a top day and boarding grammar school. There are 1250 pupils at the school, including 165 boarders and a thriving sixth form of 350 students. We challenge the brightest pupils in the North West of England, along with boarders from further afield, to fulfil their potential. Our Sixth Form is coeducational, and we welcomed Sixth Form girls as boarders from September 2020. The values central to Lancaster Royal Grammar School are those of academic and extra-curricular excellence and opportunity, within a diverse and tolerant community; these form the the best possible foundation for future life. Our pupils achieve outstanding exam results (63% A*/A grades at A-level in 2022, and 41% 9/8 grades at GCSE in 2022) and we have a national reputation for sporting excellence. Fourteen pupils were offered places at Oxford and Cambridge universities in 2022. The atmosphere of the school is vibrant and inspiring - and fun! The School was endowed in 1472 and is one of the oldest state funded schools in the country. Originally situated close to the Priory Church and Lancaster Castle, the LRGS moved to its present site in 1851 when Queen Victoria granted the Royal title. LRGS has a long tradition of providing excellent opportunities for pupils to excel academically as well as a national reputation for sporting and extra-curricular achievement. Students achieve consistently high academic standards and are supported by a strong and effective pastoral system.
