- Guided by the school motto “To be the best that I can with the gifts that I have”, Queen Ethelburga’s College is comprised of five schools on one campus.
- Pupils at QEC are expected to be “highly aspirational and make outstanding academic progress”. At GCSE, students complete half of their GCSEs in year 10 and the other half in year 11, with pupils taught in classes based on both their ability and interest in the subject.
- An array of “super-curricular” options is timetabled to build on students’ interests and talents. These include linguistics, philosophy, psychology, law and critical thinking.
- Amenities include cutting-edge classrooms, Premier League-level sports facilities and a new outdoor activity centre.
- The QE Futures Programme supports those preparing university applications, from small group sessions to admission test practice and mock interviews.
- Many trips and visits are available to students, from Christmas shopping in Cologne to visiting Iceland, Venice or Berlin for culture and language exchanges.
