Lancaster Royal Grammar School
Lancaster, LA1 3EF · Lancashire · Grammar school
10th 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 384 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.0/10 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 | 33% | 1.72 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 98.8 · 99 | 31% | 3.05 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.59 · 87 | 26% | 2.25 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 74.1 · 98 | 10% | 1.01 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. Attainment 8 was 74.1 in 2024/25, against a national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.59 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in 2022. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.0 out of 10 among them, against 9.4 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Combined Cadet Force, Chess, Cricket, Netball, Rowing, and Rugby. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. There are 1290 pupils in a school with 1165 places, meaning it is over capacity by 125. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity by 125 places? What specific support is offered to pupils who fall behind in English and maths? How accessible are the sports facilities for students who do not play competitive team sports?
