It is part of the Wakefield Grammar School Foundation, along with three other junior and senior schools, plus a nursery.
In 2011, Queen Elizabeth Grammar School Junior School opened a pre-preparatory department, Centenary House, which resulted in the previous age range of 7-11 being lowered. The school has specialist facilities across many subject areas and is closely linked with Wakefield Cathedral.
