Queen Ethelburga’s Collegiate

I cannot express how thrilled we have been with every aspect of the school. The school ground and facilities speak for themselves, and of course the teaching is exemplary. However, for us it has been the care and dedication shown by the staff to our daughter that has truly made the last four years so amazing.

With Erin being a new Year 12 student to the school, she received an excellent induction service which introduced her to the positive and supportive culture of the school. This provided us as parents with the confidence that we made the right school choice. With the schools’ continuing support throughout the year Erin was able to achieve an equitable balance between her sporting requirements and academic work.

It was a special place. Rooms were so good and also all the college in general. Big classrooms. I advise you to go there in summer! There are good “college groups” where you can have a lot of fun and meet new people. Hope to have been helpful.

Having come from a smaller school and having to look for another school after we moved areas, we were immediately impressed with the facilities of Queen Ethelburga’s. However, as a parent I was also aware of how large the school is and worried whether my son, aged 6, would cope with such a change. Now, four years later and the benefit of there being four separate parts to the school – I cannot believe the 10-year-old boy he has become! He was given support from the start, gained confidence and was nurtured by his teachers. The best decision we ever made.

We moved to England in 2012 following a visit to QE. We were blown away. Both my children have excelled at QE. QE was the only school who believed and trusted in my youngest child’s hearing impediment and gave us huge amounts of support. This is an amazing school, not just for the academic results but for all support given to students; to build their confidence as they grow, particularly when experiencing challenging situations along the way.
