    What it’s like

    Founded and endowed early in the 16th century by Thomas Horsley. By virtue of Queen Elizabeth’s charter in 1600 it became the Free Grammar School of Queen Elizabeth in Newcastle upon Tyne. It is one of the most distinguished schools in the north of England and enjoys close links with the city and the region. Its pupils are drawn from a wide area and, in 2001, girls were admitted to the sixth form. It is well sited near the civic and city centres and the two universities. Most of the premises date from 1907 and there have been numerous extensions, including a junior school, music centre, sports centre and, most recently, a science and technology building. Academic standards have always been high and examination results excellent. Music, drama and art are very strong indeed. Up to ten concerts are given each year and four or five main productions in the theatre. A wide range of sports and games is available; high standards are achieved and there have been many representatives at county, regional and national level. Chess and debating are especially notable activities. There is a flourishing Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme and a voluntary CCF. The school has vigorous support in the city and locality and there is a lively programme of voluntary service.
