Changing Lives Through Learning

Queen Elizabeth Grammar School

Founded in 1564 by Royal Charter, our school has been helping young people to secure outstanding academic results and providing a well-rounded experience for over 450 years. The school encourages students to take responsibility for their learning from the moment they join, ensuring they are well prepared for the challenges they face on their journey at QEGS. We are a growing school with 1040 students currently on roll, but remain sufficiently small to recognise individual talents and ensure everyone is challenged and supported to reach their goals.

David Marchant - Headteacher

Our vision is to succeed in ‘Changing Lives through Learning’ by providing the very best possible educational opportunities for young people. At our heart our core principles of respect for the individual, the encouragement of involvement within school and the wider community and the development of initiative to provide students with confidence and curiosity are promoted through all areas of QEGS life.

#Austria2025🇦🇹 All on the bus back to Penrith! The students have been amazing all week. It’s been such a privilege to see them coming on so much both in their skiing and in their maturity.

Next year we go to Italy🇮🇹. We already have 40 students signed up but there is space for a few more…details will come out when we return from the Easter Break.

Well done staff. I’ve taken trips abroad from Nelson Thom for years. I think you are to be congratulated on your knowledge and organisation. My grandson was on this trip. All enjoyed it thoroughly. I won’t embarrass him further. But keep going please.

Thank you to all the staff for giving them this amazing opportunity, it sounds like they’ve had a fantastic time!

Thank you to you all. Looks like an amazing experience.
