Queen Elizabeth’s main aim is to empower students to enjoy the art of learning. It strives to create a community of smart, educated and successful young people who will be global citizens in a 21st-century world.

Extra-curricular activities are encouraged, especially the expressive arts, technology and sports. The school’s outdoor programme includes Ten Tors and the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme.
