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.

🎶 Another fantastic lunchtime concert! 🎶

We were treated to seven brilliant performances:
🌟 We kicked off with a fun flute trio playing The Drunken Sailor
🎸 Followed by a lovely classical guitar duet from host Jonty and GCSE student Susan
🎹 Ben returned with a beautiful Chopin Prelude, setting the tone for a mini Chopin festival!
🎹 Theo continued the Chopin vibes with another stunning prelude.
🎵 Liv performed her Carlisle Music Festival flute solo—wonderful to hear ahead of March’s competition!
🎹 Kezia added another fantastic Chopin performanc.
🎸 Nathan switched it up with an electric guitar Slipknot piece
🎸 And to close, Jonty performed a fantastic guitar solo!

As Jonty is fast approaching his A-Levels, today marked his penultimate lunchtime concert as host. Having set up the series four years ago, he’s helped it grow thanks to his passion and dedication.

👉 Want to perform? Contact Miss Wilkinson!
🎤 Join us for Jonty’s farewell concert on 26th March!
