It is a pleasure to welcome you to the web pages of Lancaster High School.

Lancaster High School is a welcoming and close-knit community with very close links to the surrounding areas which it serves. We pride ourselves on offering excellent support to pupils so that they receive the very best of all things during their time with us. It is our duty to see that we meet the needs of all our pupils – be they academic, emotional, pastoral or extra-curricular – preparing them well for life beyond our doors. It is a duty we take very seriously.

Lancaster High School is built on a foundation of high expectations and unwavering ambition for every pupil. We are a small, supportive school where academic excellence goes hand in hand with a deep sense of community—where strong relationships between pupils, staff, and families create a culture of respect, belonging, and shared purpose.

Inclusion is at the heart of everything we do. As a truly comprehensive school, we ensure that every child is seen, supported, and empowered to flourish. Our commitment extends beyond the classroom: we work collaboratively in service to the city of Lancaster, nurturing young people who are not only successful learners but compassionate young people.

Most importantly, our pupils are taught to be kind -to themselves and to others. Whether in lessons, on the stage, or on the sports field, our pupils are encouraged to be the very best person they can be.

I hope that you enjoy looking at our website and learning more about us. If you would like to know more, please join us on our open evening, get in touch to arrange a visit, or to speak to someone about what we do.
