Welcome

Welcome to Clitheroe Royal Grammar School, an “outstanding school” (Ofsted 2006).

Link to Ofsted 2006 Report

Since our foundation in 1554 our school has provided a centre of excellence, offering superb teaching and learning opportunities.  We have a very strong academic record and are one of the country’s highest achieving schools.  Clitheroe Royal Grammar School is listed on Ofsted’s “Honours List”.

We combine the strengths of a mixed selective grammar school with the advantages of being a thoroughly modern school which prepares students for a rapidly changing world.  We focus on the education and the development of the individual and offer a wide provision of extra-curricular activities.

Clitheroe Royal Grammar School is a mixed selective 11-18 school with academy status. The Main School (Years 7-11) is at our Chatburn Road site where approximately 600 pupils are based. 

The Sixth Form Centre is housed at the York Street site.  We have over 690 students including a significant number who have joined us from other schools.  Students study a wide range of AS and A Level subjects.  Most of our Sixth Form go on to university. 

Clitheroe Royal Grammar School was designated a Specialist Language College from September 2006.  Since then, Specialist School status has enhanced the opportunities for students, staff, parents and the wider community.  

Our school has a reputation for being a happy, stimulating and caring environment in which everyone is given the opportunity to reach their full potential.

All students are encouraged to take part in the wide variety of curricular and extra-curricular activities available at lunchtimes and after school.
