Co-education
Queen Elizabeth's is a fully co-educational school and has been since 2001. In fact, girls have been educated at our school for many years and have been an integral part of our Sixth Form since 1976. Girls do well at Queen Elizabeth's, a fact that we can demonstrate both from the examination results they obtain and from the fact that they are very happy here and contribute hugely to the life of our school. We have a female Head of School this year (Katherine Midgley) and one of the two Deputy Heads of School (Zara Heaven) has, like Katherine, been with us since the age of 11.
It has been said that the issue of co-education generates more heat than almost any other, among schools. Parents sometimes get drawn into the debate, and a number have strong views, but most just want to find a good school for their child.
Our Headmaster Simon Corns has set down some of his own views, following a number of features in the media. You can download the article he has written by clicking here.
