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.”
