History

The school was founded in 1907 as the Storey Institute. It was made in an effort to boost girls' education and once was a fee-paying school but this came to a halt after the events of World War Two. The school closed for a short period during this time and some students would sleep in the building although it was not considered a boarding school. Since this time, LGGS has been taking part in some of the town's main events such as the Lancaster Music Festival and Light Up Lancaster.
