We Believe in the Holistic Development of Every Child

Queen Ethelburga’s lessons, activities, and community are built upon pillars representing four essential areas of school life; Academic, Enrichment, Wellbeing, and Welfare.

Academic

“To build skills for lifelong learning and success.”

Our Academic Ethos is designed to enhance your child’s approach to learning, personal skills, and critical thinking abilities. Tailored to your child’s interests, our curriculum fosters a love for learning, from celebrating ‘magical moments’ in Early Years to selecting an academic pathway that aligns with your child’s learning style at QE College and QE Faculty.

Discover QE Study Toolkit, our latest initiative aimed at better preparing students for examinations post-COVID.

Welfare

“To promote happiness, positive health, and community safety.”

Ensuring a safe and nurturing environment is everyone’s responsibility at Queen Ethelburga’s.

Learn about our Safeguarding policy and explore our on-site Medical Centre, catering specifically to the needs of boarding students.

Wellbeing

“To encourage respect, equity, and collective responsibility.”

Discover how we prioritise your child’s wellbeing at every step. Our dedicated Pastoral Team collaborates closely with the Heads of Schools to create a supportive community where every voice is heard and every individual is cared for.

Whether it’s welcoming a child on their first day or assisting an international student in adapting to a new culture, we're here to support them.

Enrichment at Queen Ethelburga’s offers countless opportunities for students to engage with beyond the classroom.
