Lancaster Girls' Grammar School

Bin ther dun that learnt gud speling anf grammer

There’s a creepy teacher. but the school doesn’t seem to notice / care. You’re made to feel inferior or stupid if you’re not a grade7/8/9/A* student. A grade 5/6/B is still decent and can get you into a levels/uni. Too much focus on grades - and exam factory. Some TeAchers are really discouraging and unreasonableZ The teaching recieved in maths/science/English/ often bad Many girls suffer from mental health issues due to the environment of the school

Literally a terrible school. Caters to the privileged middle class. If you’re not a private tutored middle class kid then many teachers will treat you like you are stupid. Jackie loves these perfect twee rich girls with no personality who’ve been tutored to the hilts. Most of the teachers can’t teach, & girls only get good grades due to their own dedication & tutoring. A string of grade 9s, means nothing in the real world. It’s unreal how much undeserved classism I got from teachers. I can’t describe the hatred I have for this school. Abolish all grammar schools but especially this one.

Really nice environment for learning everyone is willing to learn and work hard and you get through a lot in the lessons. Students are very friendly not many rude people, except a few can be very nasty but not the fault of the school. However, many students don’t feel like the school will take action against other students bullying them (due to past events) which is why they don’t tell the pastoral staff. Teachers push you to do well, they try to help you in class and it’s easy to talk to them privately if you need help with class work. Also quite understanding of homework, they never give you homework to hand in next day. Quite competitive between students which can be a good and bad thing The competitiveness helps you to strive to do better as everyone is achieving good grades however also makes you quite stressed and pressure to do well (which as well can be a good and bad thing) They give detentions for things such as ear piercings which is very unfair and silly Also teachers sometimes don’t take action against racism, Islamaphobia and they are quick to make assumptions regarding certain pupils of a certain colour and race although I have noticed they are trying to make changes by listening to pupils suggestions regarding teachers to have a wider understanding of sexuality, gender, race and religion. Food selection is ok, quite standard for secondary school. Good options for vegetarians, and at break they have great breakfast food such as hash browns, toast, bacon butties. Would recommend the school to anyone who wants to work hard in a good school which will give you lots of opportunities.

As a gcse student, I’m really struggling and I don’t feel any help coming from any of the teachers. Everyone is obsessed with grades not with trying your best and working hard. I can barely keep myself from breaking down. My mental health and my intelligence have both decreased being there. Over all, it’s not too bad but it’s fun.

It’s a great school and you get taught well but if you struggle, it isn’t great to get help. All they will do is repeat it. The teachers mainly teach to listen not teach to understand. At the moment, school is all about a grade not about trying your best or working hard. It’s alright but it’s damaging to my mental health

Teachers are all super caring to the students! As it is a grammar school, we do get challenged but only to the best of our ability and beyond. they respect us and we respect them! lovely grounds and rooms, excellent music department! would definitely reccomend!
