Dr Richard Brookes
A warm welcome to Queen Elizabeth’s
Queen Elizabeth’s School, Wakefield is a diamond model school that combines the benefits of single-sex academic focus with the broader experience of co-education.
Our community is made up of people from different backgrounds, with different perspectives. Our pupils show respect for each other, and celebrate these differences in a culture characterised by kindness.
Our teachers revel in the subjects they love and so inspire each pupil we are privileged to teach.
This approach fosters confidence, a lifelong love of learning, and preparation for pupils to enter higher education and beyond.
Queen Elizabeth’s delivers a seamless educational journey across all age groups, enhanced by unified facilities and a strong focus on academic excellence, pastoral care, and extra-curricular activities.
