Queen Elizabeth's High School, Gainsborough

Well done in your last Ofsted!!Outstanding!!!!

Our eldest child attends this school and she has enjoyed her time at school so much she has applied to do her A levels in the purpose built 6th Form next year. We have been so impressed with how she has grown and developed into a well-rounded young lady through her time at the school that we were delighted when our youngest child passed his 11+ so he will be coming here next year. He has wanted to attend the school ever since he attended his sisters welcome meeting, when he heard Mr Allsop talk about “it’s not what you know it’s about what you don't know...yet.”The school have supported my daughter in her academic achievements, she has worked hard and been encouraged by the teaching staff to attain her potential. What we have been most impressed with the schools extra-curricular offering. There have been so many opportunities for her to experience new things and develop into a well-rounded individual, from sporting events, theatre trips and opportunities to develop her self-confidence and responsibility.The staff have supported her with her medical needs and have nurtured her through some difficult times, helping her manage grief as well as issues that they could easily have said were not their concern. We have found that from the first point of contact at reception, to her Form Tutor and Head of House, the staff we have dealt with have been approachable and responsive.We cannot recommend the school highly enough.

After attending this school for the past five years, I can honestly say it is brilliant. The staff are really supportive and approachable, and there is lots of extra help available if you need it. QEHS has provided me with many new opportunities and experiences, which have allowed me to develop as a person. It allows the students to achieve as high as possible, and their exam results are amazing. My time at QEHS has grown my confidence, given me many new friends and made me a better, more rounded person.
