"As Principal, it is a privilege to be able to extend a warm welcome to Queen Ethelburga’s Collegiate, known locally, nationally, and internationally for our outstanding pastoral care, our high-quality boarding provision, and our exceptional academic outcomes; all supported by our fantastic facilities. Most importantly, QE is a happy and fulfilling place where our students and staff thrive.
We have a longstanding relationship with the Forces community and have been welcoming military children into our school for over 100 years. Currently, Forces children account for 25% of our student population, which is why we have special Forces provisions in place such as our Forces Club, Combined Cadet Force, and our team of Forces Liasion Officers who are specially trained to best look after the mental and physical health of our military children."
