Head - Claire Gammon

Values and vision

Although we no longer charges fees, we pride ourselves on retaining an independent school ethos, and place strong emphasis on high academic standards, exemplary behaviour and extra-curricular commitment.

The school's curriculum is founded on high aspirations allied with academic breadth and challenge. It has a strong emphasis on oral communication and extends beyond the national curriculum in offering PSHEE. The introduction of French in Year 3, plus specialist-taught science and music and an extended programme of physical education, help to develop early habits of co-operation, application and aspiration. All pupils are expected to participate in these activities as we wish to help them to benefit from a broad experience that sees them working co-operatively with others, irrespective of their background or faith. We are a truly integrated school which encourages tolerance and diversity within a broad Christian ethos.

Queen Elizabeth's also wishes to establish within students the habits of application, attendance, and healthy living. It aims to support this through, among other things, regular monitoring of individual progress.

The school enjoys a reputation for academic excellence. It continues to draw pupils and students from a wide area of north and east Lancashire, as well as beyond. A number of students proceed to the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and almost all the Year 13 students go on to university.
