Grammar celebrates after being given top marks by inspectors

AN independent boys’ school in Yorkshire is celebrating receiving positive inspection reports for both its junior and senior schools.

Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, in Wakefield, was assessed by the Independent Schools Inspectorate during a four-day visit in November, last year.

It has now received inspection reports which have praised the academic standards and pastoral care provided to students at both junior and senior schools.

The junior school is praised for its curriculum and the way pupils behave in lessons and gain independence as they move through the school.

It said: “The junior school is a model learning environment for boys, specifically tailored for their needs.

“This creates an excellent sense of community, where boys are enabled to attain their best in personal and academic development in a safe, happy and challenging environment.”

The senior school is praised for its academic standards and the “spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of the boys”

QEGS head master Mike Gibbons said: “The school is delighted and honoured by this report.

“That we are deemed outstanding in so many areas is a tremendous accolade to the students, staff and all associated with the school.”

Louise Gray, the head of QEGs junior school said: “This is an outstanding inspection report and am I delighted that the school has been highlighted as a model learning environment for the boys.”
