Welcome to Queen Elizabeth's

Queen Elizabeth’s School, Wakefield, formerly known as Wakefield Grammar Pre-Preparatory School, Wakefield Girls’ High School, and Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, welcomes girls and boys from age 3 into our diamond model offering, where the benefits of single-sex academic focus are combined with the broader experience of co-education.

At the heart of our School are cherished values which support our mission to provide education in a supportive, engaging and inclusive environment that inspires pupils to develop their abilities, strengthen their character and fulfil their potential.

Queen Elizabeth’s is conveniently located within walking distance of Wakefield city centre and access to the West Yorkshire motorway network.

Wakefield Westgate train station is a short 10-minute walk, with regular services from Leeds, Doncaster, Sheffield and Huddersfield.  Additionally, there are dedicated school bus services from Barnsley, Huddersfield, Pontefract and east of Leeds.

In total we have around 1,750 pupils and almost 450 employees covering both teaching and support staff.
