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.

Today we are celebrating World Smile Day! 😀

The theme of this year is “Do an act of kindness. Help one person smile!” - something our students and staff embrace everyday! 💙

World Smile Day was initiated by Harvey Ball, a commercial artist from Worcester, Massachusetts, known for creating the iconic smiley face symbol in 1963. Harvey Ball believed that his creation had become too commercialized and wanted to devote a day to genuine smiles and acts of kindness!

🥾 Sponsored Walk 2025! 🥾

Last Friday saw the annual Sponsored Walk - a much loved QEGS tradition! We are incredibly proud to have school community who come together so positively that we can run such an incredible whole school event!

A massive thank you to all the Year 13s for their help with the activities, marshalling the route and walking with their Year 7 tutor groups as buddies!

Thank you also to Friends of QEGS (@fqegs) for running the refreshments and providing much needed sustenance in the form of many many hot dogs!!

If you have any sponsor money this can be submitted through ParentMail, half of all money raised will go to Friends of QEGS and half will go to the school charity for this year which will be chosen by the Student Council.
