LETTER FROM HEADTEACHER



Welcome to our website. It is a privilege to be Headteacher at Queen Elizabeth’s
Grammar, Alford, and I am very proud of our wonderful school with its caring,
friendly and aspirational ethos. Students are well-known individually and valued
as such. We place emphasis on supporting one another and mutual respect -
students’ behaviour clearly reflects this around school, in their charitable
work and the way they treat one another. The school’s motto is ‘Cor Unum via
Una’ – one in heart and goal. We value hard work and encourage students to
strive for excellence in all fields of their lives. Students are prepared for
life beyond school with the academic, social and emotional skills they will
need, whilst ensuring they have fun and enjoy their time at school, building
strong friendships and gaining the confidence they will require to excel.

Queen Elizabeth’s was founded in 1566 and we celebrated our 450th anniversary in
2016. We are now a Selective Academy, currently having approximately 530 pupils
on roll.

Formerly a Business & Enterprise College, students are encouraged to be
enterprising and departments all have good links with the business world.
Students can set up their own businesses, trading in school, and there is a
venture fund to support them.

We recognise the value of developing the whole person and therefore provide an
extensive range of extra-curricular activities (run by staff and senior
students) and many leadership opportunities. We have a well-supported Duke of
Edinburgh Award Scheme (up to Gold) and a bespoke Leadership Award Scheme. Our
student leadership team are core to the school and are elected on an annual
basis.

Recent government funding (PSBP2) has provided us with a sports hall, activities
studio, science lab and 2 classrooms.

We are very proud of our students and their wide-ranging achievements. These
include:

 * In recent years raising money for Alopecia UK, Alford Food Bank and Cancer
   Research.
 * Our GCSE Progress 8, and 100% 4+ in Maths and English, are consistently high.
 * Consistently high Value-Added at all key stages and across all groups of
   students.
 * Pupils and staff maintaining a school garden, which supplies some fruit and
   vegetables to the canteen.
 * Our school radio station run by students.
 * A wide range of sporting activities inside and outside of school. This year
   our Y9/10 boys being placed 3rd in the District Cross Country Competition.
 * Last year an outstanding production of ‘Sister Act'; this year our students
   will entertain the community with a Night at the Musicals.



The information on this website will, I hope, provide you with a flavour of
Queen Elizabeth’s. There is so much more, however, than any website could ever
convey. Probably the most impressive feature of the School is the students! To
appreciate fully the way we work, I strongly recommend that you pay us a visit.
Please come and meet the students, teachers and myself and see the excellent
facilities.

Best wishes

Glen Thompson
