Lancaster Girls' Grammar School
Lancaster, LA1 1SF · Lancashire · Grammar school
11th of 81 secondary schools in Lancashire we can score, 82 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 300 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.0/10 among them, against 9.4/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 92.2 · 96 | 30% | 2.89 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.69 · 90 | 25% | 2.26 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 73.4 · 98 | 10% | 0.97 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 92.2% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 73.4, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.69 in 2023/24, indicating better progress than pupils nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.0 out of 10 among them, against 9.4 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in The Chronicle, Mock Trial, and Duke of Edinburgh Award activities. The arts programme includes the School Production, Orchestra, Chamber Choir, Jazz Band, and String Group.
Getting in. There are 997 pupils in a school with 1065 places, leaving 68 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help to close the gap between their current progress and the national average? What specific support is available for students aiming for the Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award? How does the school manage the transition for new students joining a fairly full cohort?
