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.
Year 12 & 13 Ian Murphy workshop 🎨
What a fantastic session! Our students rolled up their sleeves and got truly experimental, working on a larger scale than usual. They explored bold techniques using textured papers, sandpaper, graphite, ink and bleach to create striking effects. The room was buzzing with energy as everyone pushed boundaries and discovered new ways to make their images stand out. The results were dramatic, expressive, and full of personality—a brilliant addition to their portfolios! 🎉
