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.

What a fantastic initiative - thank you for supporting all the local students 💙

#StrivingTogetherHappy New Year from the Purple footprint team to all who support our initiatives throughout the year.

We are starting this year by returning to our successful collaboration with The Cosy Cup and the Library by offering vouchers to students using the library to study. They will be available to collect from the library on 8/1/26 and redeemable from the Cosy Cup coffee shop in Devonshire Arcade.

How exciting is this?!
In two weeks we are launching our first ever Digital Youth Club session! 📱💻

Imagine all the fun of a CYZ session, from the comfort of your own home! Our fab digital youth workers Harvey and Olivia are ready and excited to invite you all into their sessions through zoom. The sessions will include gaming, conversation, quizzes and above all will be a space for you to connect with others, and have fun. Being part of this will mean you can shape the sessions, bringing your ideas about what you would like to see in these sessions going forwards! 😊

For any young person 11+ who would like to join these sessions, membership and attendance is completely FREE and you can sign up here or scan the QR code- www.carlisleyouthzone.org/what-we-offer/digital-youth-work/

Before you attend any session, our youth workers will meet with you online to tell you what to expect, set some ground rules and take some of your ideas or what YOU would like to see and do!

If you're not quite ready to sign up, or are already a member and would like to know more or arrange a chat with one of our digital youth workers to learn more, you can do that by emailing us at or by following the above link and selecting 'register interest'!

We cannot wait to see you there! 👾👾
