Welcome to Kirkby Stephen Grammar School

A warm welcome to KSGS

Kirkby Stephen Grammar School is a successful and continually improving 11–18 school, set in the beautiful landscape of the Upper Eden Valley.

With around 350 students on roll, including a thriving sixth form, we are small by design – and proud of it. Our size allows us to know every child as an individual, tailoring support and challenge so that every student can reach their full potential.

We are a school with a big heart and a strong sense of community, where staff and students look out for one another. Our teachers go the extra mile, not only in lessons but also in preparing young people for life beyond school. We encourage our students to aim high, to work hard, and to believe in themselves.

K – Knowledge that inspires us to achieve our best
S – Supportive staff and students who care for one another
G – Growth through opportunities in lessons, sport, arts, and beyond
S – Success built on community, confidence, and pride in our school
