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.

🏆 QEGS PE & Sport Weekly Round-Up 🏉🏑🏐⚽
Another fantastic week of sport at QEGS, with pupils representing the school across badminton, netball, hockey, rugby and football.
The week began with a hugely successful County Open Badminton Tournament hosted at QEGS, attracting over 90 entries from across the county.
On Monday, we welcomed three Year 7 netball teams from UCC, with fantastic enthusiasm and participation from all involved. A special thank you to our older student umpires for helping the event run so smoothly. Our Year 10 hockey team also enjoyed a strong fixture against UCC.
Tuesday saw plenty of rugby action, with the Year 9 boys showing tremendous resilience against Keswick after a difficult start. Thank you to Mr Miller for his excellent refereeing and support. The Year 7 boys also took on UCC, with many experiencing their first contact rugby match. Thanks to Mr Holmes for coaching and refereeing.
On Wednesday, the Year 11 boys travelled to Barnard Castle and produced some impressive rugby, while our U18 boys combined with UCC to face Sedbergh 5ths. The U18 football team also put in a determined performance against Trinity.
Thursday rounded off the week with Year 7 and 8 hockey fixtures against UCC, with several pupils representing QEGS competitively for the first time. Thank you to Miss Delbridge for her continued support and organisation. We also welcomed Windermere for a Year 7 football fixture, while the Year 10 A and B netball teams travelled to UCC. Thank you to Miss Wilson for all her work with fixtures and training. The Year 8 rugby team also enjoyed an excellent contest against Keswick, with participation numbers continuing to grow. Thanks to Mr Kidd for refereeing and managing the fixture.
👏 A huge well done to all pupils who represented QEGS this week. Your effort, commitment, sportsmanship and willingness to challenge yourselves continue to make us proud.
