Lancaster Girls’ Grammar School is a forward looking, selective state school with academy status and an outstanding record of promoting high achievement.

The school was founded in 1907 at the Storey Institute on Meeting House Lane with only 73 girls on roll. From these humble beginnings the School quickly grew, and moved into the current Regent Street site in 1914. LGGS enjoys a city centre location. The main site includes a range of different building from the original Edwardian building to our purpose built modern Sixth Form Centre. Playing fields are a short walk away and some Science accommodation is in a building which sites one of our key primary schools, Dallas Road Primary.

In 2011, LGGS became an Academy. There are currently just over 1,000 students on roll with five-form entry into Year 7. The admission policy prioritises girls from the Lancaster District, but students do travel to the school from a wider area, including Preston. A high proportion of students continue into the Sixth Form after Year 11 and the school welcomes a number of external students into Year 12. The Sixth Form curriculum is broad, with enrichment and wellbeing options alongside a wide range of A levels, Maths, Biology and Chemistry are the most popular subjects at A level.

The school is known nationally for its academic excellence. This year 80% of grades at A level were A*-B and at GCSE 76% at grades 7 and 9, placing LGGS one of the highest attaining schools in Lancashire.

We are very proud of our inclusive community. Valuing diversity and promoting equality are important aspects of LGGS life. This can be seen through the work of the school’s Equality groups. LGGS has an outward looking approach and strong international links. We work with the Ripley ITT Partnership. The school has links with EducAid, a Sierra Leone education focused charity. International Week includes numerous workshops run by students, an International Fashion Show and a hugely popular International Food Fair.

In our recent staff survey 100% of staff responded that they were proud to work at LGGS and 99% enjoyed working at the school. Last year saw a number of retirements with the result that new staff have joined the school, bringing with them a range of experiences and ideas. We are extremely fortunate in that we can recruit high calibre teachers with the result that all subjects are taught by specialist teachers. Staff are keen to enhance their professional knowledge and we currently have seven teachers undertaking NPQ qualifications. Staff also appreciate the positive behaviour and high attendance of students at LGGS. Our students are articulate, keen to participate and ambitious for themselves.
