Life at QEGS
You’ll like the way we value SMILES as much as success.
Maintaining good mental health and wellbeing through positive relationships is an intrinsic part of QEGS’ ethos. What matters to us that above all, is that a pupil’s time at QEGS should be as enjoyable as possible. We pride ourselves on having a kind and inclusive community where pupils feel fully supported to progress both academically and socially. We want every pupil to feel happy, relaxed, confident, and valued in an environment that enables them to truly be themselves.
A happy school life is our way of life.
Our awareness of the positive role wellbeing can play means that we support pupils not just when they’re settling in, but throughout their school lives. In addition to our in-school counsellor and matron, boys have the opportunity to train in roles of peer support, helping new pupils with anything from settling in, to homework and friendship advice.
A school with kindness and wellbeing at its heart.
We create a secure environment where pupils gain a true sense of their own worth and feel a real sense of belonging, fostered through small personal tutorials, affiliation to a house, twice weekly assemblies and dependable peer and staff support.
