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.

This year’s EPQs covered an incredibly broad range of topics, reflecting the diverse interests of our students, including: gender stereotypes in children’s TV shows; a study of how biophilic design in schools can impact student learning; and an analysis of how standard football boots are unsuitable for the women’s game, with a boot designed specifically for women players – watch out Dragon’s Den!
Visitors to the Marketplace were really impressed by students’ passion for their subjects and their hard work in completing an EPQ alongside their A-levels. ... See MoreSee Less
