Queen Elizabeth's High School
Established in 1589 as a boys’ grammar school, Queen Elizabeth’s High School (QEHS) underwent a merger with the local girls’ school in 1983, leading to its current co-educational setup in Lincolnshire. With an enrollment of nearly 1,200 pupils, the school is organized into six houses that actively participate in interschool events spanning sports, art, and music.
QEHS provides a counseling service and ensures students gain valuable work experience opportunities throughout their tenure. The school boasts an extensive extracurricular program designed to enrich students' non-academic development. Notably, the school offers exciting international trips to destinations like Tanzania, Cambodia, and Costa Rica, aiming to broaden students' understanding of diverse cultures and customs.
