Joining the Sixth Form at Clitheroe Royal Grammar School gives young people the opportunity to develop themselves as successful independent learners within a supportive school environment.
Academic success is an important aspect of this experience, opening doors to highly competitive courses and equipping students with the skills to thrive in an ever-changing and competitive world. However, there is much more to the Sixth Form experience at CRGS.
Students are encouraged to participate in a wide range of extra-curricular activities. There are opportunities for both competitive and recreational sport on a Wednesday afternoon. Many students also take part in drama and musical performances and ensembles as well as taking part in cultural visits, both in the UK and further afield. Particular strengths are the clubs and societies set up and run by the students themselves; new members are recruited to these at the Freshers’ Fair in mid-September. Students are also encouraged to volunteer in the local community with groups such as the National Citizen Service (NCS) and also in local schools, hospitals and care homes.
Every year we have a Ethics Philosophy and Religion Conference please click here for the 2024 programme.
Students play a significant part in the day-to-day running of the Sixth Form, undertaking leadership roles as part of our Student Leadership Team, Sports Prefects, Library Prefects, Peer Mentors as well as running student societies. Many Sixth Form students work with our Main School students to offer academic support and curriculum enrichment.
"Leaders take pride in empowering students to be ambassadors and facilitators of change in school. Students fully embrace the leadership opportunities that are on offer. They often lead their own clubs, deliver assemblies, support events and drive charitable initiatives. Student leaders are exceptional role models for their younger peers"— Ofsted November 2022
