DESCRIPTION

Lancaster Royal Grammar School was endowed in 1472 and is one of the oldest state-funded schools in the country. We challenge the brightest pupils in the North West of England, along with boarders from further afield, to fulfill their potential. We are a day and boarding grammar school of around 1000 boys aged 11–18, including 170 boarders. We also have a thriving Sixth Form of over 300, which will welcome girls for the first time in September 2019. We have a long tradition of providing outstanding opportunities for boys to excel academically, as well as a national reputation for sporting and extra-curricular achievement. Students achieve consistently high academic standards (51% A*/A grades at A-level, and 36% 8/9 grades at GCSE in 2018). As a state school, education is free for all pupils. Boarding at Lancaster Royal Grammar School costs only about a third of the fees payable at independent schools. For these reasons, we believe we are an outstanding alternative to the independent sector. 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 best possible foundations for future life. We are delighted to be in touch with so many alumni on this page. Please feel free to email us with any updates, news and change in contact details at alumni@lrgs.org.uk.
