House systemedit
Lancaster Girls' Grammar school has a House system as girls are sorted into these house in first year, and remain affiliated with them for the rest of their school career. The Houses are named after the twin towns of Lancaster:
There are inter-house competitions throughout the year, including the Performing Arts Festival, Sports Day and the Music Festival.
Historyedit
The school was founded in 1907 as the Storey Institute.[1] It was made in an effort to boost girls' education and was a fee-paying school until after World War Two. The school closed for a short period during the war and some students would sleep in the building although it was not considered a boarding school.
