Clitheroe Royal Grammar School is a co-educational secondary school in Clitheroe, Lancashire that used to be an all boys school. It was founded in 1554 as "The Free Grammar School of King Philip and Queen Mary" “for the education, instruction and learning of boys and young men in grammar; to be and to continue for ever.”

After 44 years of sharing the school buildings with the boys, the newly-built Girls Grammar School opened in 1958 and amalgamated with the Boys Grammar School in 1985. CRGS celebrated its 450th anniversary in 2004, an event marked by the planting of a tree by HRH The Duke of York.

Intake

The Main School intake each year is 120 children who have each passed the 11-plus entrance exam, with 100 from within a 'Catchment Area' and 20 from outside. These are then divided into four forms (C, R, G and S), of 30 pupils each. This means the pupil population at Main School is about 600 (120 per year, with five years). Sixth Form entry is based on GCSE performance and takes in over 300 students per year. The matriculation requirements are five grade Bs at GCSE with at least a Grade C in English Language and Mathematics[1], while some subjects also require specific grades in related GCSE subjects, where applicable
