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.
🎸 ROCK NIGHT RETURNS! 🎸
After the huge success of its debut last year, we're excited to announce the return of Rock Night!
Showcasing the talents of our fantastic rock and pop musicians, we have an eclectic mix of music in store. Rehearsals are already underway and sounding amazing, and we can't wait to share what we've been working on with you.

Congratulations to QEGS student Freddie and his pony, Hamish, on their achievement at the National Schools Equestrian Championships!
In August, Freddie and Hamish travelled an 800-mile round trip to compete at the prestigious Hickstead International Arena, proudly representing QEGS.
Having qualified earlier in the year at the Northern Area Qualifiers in Grassroots Showjumping, Freddie went on to compete in finals classes of up to 180 riders. It was a busy and highly competitive day, and Freddie rode brilliantly, gaining valuable experience at one of the country's most iconic equestrian venues.
We are proud to celebrate Freddie's success. Well done, Freddie and Hamish! 🐴🏆
