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.

STEM Roadshow Sparks Imagination at QEGS! 🚀
On Wednesday, our Year 7 and Year 8 students enjoyed an exciting performance of Material World: Engineering the Future, an interactive STEM theatre show delivered by @altrudrama and @Hi-Impact .
Fully funded by BAE Systems , the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy, the roadshow brought Science and Design Technology to life through a fantastic blend of storytelling, live demonstrations and hands-on learning.
Students explored the fascinating world of materials science, discovering how metals, composites and smart materials are shaping the future of aerospace, engineering and modern technology. The performance sparked curiosity, challenged thinking and highlighted the wide range of exciting careers available within STEM industries.
A huge thank you to the roadshow team for visiting QEGS and delivering such an engaging and memorable experience. We hope it has inspired the next generation of scientists, engineers and innovators!

🎤 Year 7 Vocal Festival 🎤
Last week, our Year 7 students had a fantastic time taking part in the Vocal Festival. It was wonderful to see so many pupils performing with confidence, enthusiasm and energy, whilst developing their vocal skills and musical teamwork.
The students represented the school brilliantly throughout the event and should be incredibly proud of their efforts. A huge well done to everyone involved for their commitment and excellent behaviour, and thank you to all those who helped make the day such a success.
