CLITHEROE ROYAL GRAMMAR SCHOOL

Founded in 1554, Clitheroe Royal Grammar School has undergone many changes and developments over the four hundred plus years of the education of young people. This continues to be the case as, to compliment the outstanding teaching and learning at the school, the buildings and facilities have developed to enhance the learning environments. The most recent additions include a brand new building on the Sixth Form site to house the Geography and English departments as well as a new conference room in which to hold meetings for staff and students. The Sixth Form at York Street are also reaping the benefits of extensions to the dining room, a new courtyard study area, a beautiful Art room and a state of the art language laboratory. At the Main School site, on Chatburn Road, all students are enjoying the new audio visual facilities and complete refurbishment of the main school hall.

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.
