- From September 2026, Queen Elizabeth Grammar School will join Wakefield Girls' High School and Wakefield Grammar Pre-Preparatory School in one co-ed diamond model school for pupils aged 3-18.
- The school dates back to the reign of Elizabeth I – with the Spanish Armada defeated, the citizens of Wakefield used this time of relative peace to focus on the education of local boys. Its alumni association is the Old Savilians’ Club, named after five of the 14 original governors who bore the name Savile. The school’s “Wakefield Way” ethos celebrates and nurtures individual learning needs.
- The Radcliffe Scholars programme is a hallmark of academic enrichment at the school and provides tailored support to those applying to Oxbridge, challenging pupils to take the Mensa test.
- Boys are encouraged to train in roles of peer support, helping new pupils with anything from settling in to homework and friendship advice.
- Former students include the rugby player Mike Tindall.
