Lancaster Royal Grammar School

Congratulations to all of our students receiving their results today.

Overall, pupils achieved top grades 8 or 9 in more than 40% of all examinations (41%), and almost two-thirds of all results (64%) were graded 7, 8 or 9.

Ten day and boarding pupils achieved grades 8 or 9 in ten or more GCSE subjects.

Amongst many individual achievements, three pupils are celebrating achieving the very top grade 9 all in ten of their GCSEs.

Headmaster Dr Chris Pyle said, “We are delighted with these brilliant results. Our Year 11 students should be very proud of their achievements and the outstanding qualifications that they have gained. Very well done indeed!
“We are proud of every single one of our pupils. Congratulations to all who have worked hard for their well-deserved results, including pupils who have faced particular challenges along the way. We look forward to seeing them continue to thrive at A-level and beyond.
“Thank you to all the teachers and support staff at Lancaster Royal Grammar School who have helped our pupils towards these fantastic achievements.”

Great to see some of our Old Lancastrians in the UAE meeting for a casual dinner last week.

Congratulations to all our A-level students celebrating outstanding results today.
The year group of 204 Upper Sixth students achieved A and A* grades in almost half of all their exams (49.8%). More than three-quarters of all results (77.6%) were graded A*, A and B.
Amongst other exceptional achievements, 19 students achieved three A* grades and 3 students achieved 4 A* grades.
Headmaster Dr Chris Pyle said: “It has been wonderful to celebrate the hard work and achievements of our fabulous Sixth Form students today. We are very proud of every single one of them for their achievements.
“It is excellent to see our headline A-level figures continue to rise year on year. Today is all about individuals, though. Students should be delighted with their excellent academic results. Some of them have come through very significant challenges. They have also set a great example in leadership and have represented the school beyond the classroom in a thousand different ways.
“This year group is brilliantly prepared to thrive on opportunities ahead. It is very exciting to see them heading to such a wide range of university courses across the UK and overseas, to competitive degree apprenticeships and employment. Huge congratulations to each of them on their well-deserved success.”

Good luck to all our Year 13 students who receive their A-level results tomorrow.

Come and join us in the Library from 9am-11am if you would like to collect your results in person.

The Sixth Form team and other teaching staff will be available to discuss any queries on results day.

In the final two weeks of summer term, groups of Year 10 students took part in work experience visits.

Students were offered a variety of organisations to visit including; Lancaster City Council, University of Cumbria, University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust, Oglethorpe, Sturton and Gillibrand Solicitors, Northstone Homes, Leyland Trucks, Forsberg Heysham and EDF Heysham Power Station.

Pupils were set preparatory work for their visits and then spent time reflecting on their visit afterwards in order to ensure a meaningful and memorable learning experience on their careers journey.

In the Michaelmas term we will stage the biennial Careers Fair event where we welcome exhibitors from colleges, universities, apprenticeship providers and employers to run a stand in the sports hall. Pupils from all year groups are given access to the event and are provided with age-appropriate tasks to complete over the course of the event which encourage them to engage with the exhibitors so that they can become more informed about potential qualification routes and career pathways.

Organisations interested in attending the event can contact us: [email protected]
