About the school

  • Founded in 1586, Queen Elizabeth’s Hospital in Bristol boys’ day school with a co-ed sixth form. While it is academically selective, it is not, it says, “elitist or socially exclusive”, and there is a “diverse pupil body”. The school motto is Dum tempus habemus operemur bonum — “Whilst we have time, let us do good”.
  • Extracurricular activities range from climbing trips in Corsica to singing in the US. Students are keen participants in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme and the Ten Tors challenge, and also take part in projects to support homeless people and asylum seekers.
  • Pupils can take the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) in addition to their A-levels.
  • QEH offers academic, music and sport scholarships for entry into Years 7 and 9, but fee remissions are reserved for pupils in receipt of means-tested bursaries
