Queen Elizabeth High School

A superb bowling spell of 3 wickets for 12 runs helped the QEHS Year 9 cricket team to success over Duchess High School, Alnwick in the first round of the Northumberland Schools’ Under 14 cup.

Friday 24 May is the last official day of study for Year 13 students. Subject teachers will of course continue to provide support for students up until they take their actual exam.

Arrangements for Friday 24 May are as follows:

Period 1 As normal; students will have the opportunity to talk to their subject teachers and say goodbye!

10.00 Students gather in the lower school hall for a final farewell assembly!

11.00 (approx) Students leave school

Students are planning to attend school in fancy dress; however, students sitting exams must not wear fancy dress for their exam.

Year 13 Leavers’ Celebration Thursday 27 June

Traditionally Year 13 students have held a ball as a final leavers’ celebration. This year the Sixth Form Executive with Year 13 students have arranged an alternative celebration. Details available via parentMail.
