Queen Elizabeth Grammar School

Queen Elizabeth Grammar School is about taking the best aspects of the traditional grammar school ethos and blending them with the most useful elements of good practice in modern education. The grammar school ethos is about offering an academic curriculum, encouraging our pupils to have high aspirations and working in a disciplined environment which has a high regard for the community, for honesty and mutual respect.
There is also a desire here to keep the school small and friendly so teachers and pupils know each other and can work together effectively. Best practice in modern education is about varied teaching styles, understanding of different learning styles, and assessment for learning rather than assessment of learning. It is about harnessing new technologies to enhance and advance teaching and learning. There is considerable extra-curricular provision in sport and the performing and creative arts. There are also many opportunities outside lesson time for pupils to participate in art, design, photography and technology, as well as maths, business and enterprise.
