Location

We are situated in the historic city of Lancaster in North Lancashire, close to the Lake District and Morecambe Bay.  We are within easy reach of the M6 motorway (15 minutes) and close to major rail links (2.5 hours to London, Glasgow and Edinburgh) and international airports (1.5 hours to Manchester and Liverpool airports).  The school is situated next to the picturesque Williamson Park, with its landmark Ashton Memorial, and is based in extensive grounds, split over two sites. 

Facilities

Lancaster Royal Grammar School is arranged over the upper site and lower site.

The upper site includes the Cricket Pavilion and pitches benefitting from the backdrop of the Ashton Memorial in Williamson Park and offering incredible views across Morecambe Bay to the Lakeland hills. It is also the location for the Design and Technology Centre, the Science centres, boarding accommodation, Maths and English classrooms, ICT suites, as well as; Wyresdale House, our centre for pastoral care, and the Medical Centre.

The main school reception, staff room, Food Technology and the Cafe are located in the modern 'City View' complex, all within the upper site, alongside the Dining Hall and the International Building (IB). IB is home to our Art studios, Chaplaincy, Religious Studies, Business and Economics rooms and the InspirUs programme. 

The lower site is made up of some of the most historic buildings including; Old School, housing the school Library, Sixth Form Centre, Drama Studios and teaching rooms. Old School House is a Grade II listed building, formerly the Headmasters house, now used as the Development Office with formal rooms for holding meetings and events. New Building dates back to 1929 and includes the Assembly Hall and teaching rooms. The lower site also has boarding accommodation, the school General Office at Lee House, the Sports Hall, Combined Cadet Force, the Gymnasium and the Music studios and Recital Room. Some school buildings date from the Victorian era, while others, such as our most recent boarding accommodation, are just a few years old.
