Horrible
Qe made my mental health even worse than it already was, the thought of going to school would make me cry and shake. I have autism and Qe completely ignored my ehcp, they would say they were going to do things and they never did they always did the complete opposite, they would follow me around even when i had a toilet pass to go toilet, i gained an eating disorder from Qe as i didn’t feel safe to eat there and i gained severe mental health issues and ptsd from how ok was treated there, i am now...

Has a bad impression
The strictness of using the toilet and uniform is a joke. however they have realised that no one cares. Most people can wear white socks, walk around with top button undone and any length tie. If a teacher asks you about it just say you will change and don't. The teachers act like law enforcement but have no power if you just don't listen to their stupid rules. Other than that the actual education is quite good as most teachers do actually care about their subjects

Terrible school
Not a good school!! Nothing works properly and parents are only giving excuses

Stressful
Someone needs to set up a legal challenge to their detention system no one likes bad behaviour but for the smallest thing can only do more harm than good School should be a pleasant experience not destroy confidence with stupidity

qe is terrible
the mental health of these students are rapidly depending and this hell hole of a school pays no attention. nothing gets done about bullying leading to suicide and self harming. the teacher think that reading off a PowerPoint is considered teaching, most are not passionate about their subjet and you will very very often be "taught" by a supply due to understaffing.this school is utterly terrible

Furious
Had a threatening email about what they will do to you if the child you are responsible for misses school yet they been striking and other disruption to their education I am absolutely furious only threaten people when your own house is in order or wait for someone to do something wrong, will be glad when the person we are responsible leaves.

Deeply concerning
A concerning increase in the use of isolation to relieve the burden of teaching. This is detrimental to the well being of Year 7 student who have no idea what have hit them. I am genuinely concerned about placing my son in the same school as his sister. She is able to succeed under such high emotional pressure, but my son will not be able to. A worried father

terrible
u get detentions for stuff like white socks an top button undone but whenever theres actually an issue with bullying or school fights the teachers never really do anything like the other day some kids were fighting an so sub teacher just walked straight past, this school is honestly such a dump they must be having a laugh with their big talk about how great we are as a school community. an the sausage rolls are soggy, no one wants to eat that

QE, a Disgrace to Education
QE is a disgrace to education. It produces uneducated chavs but at least they know how to do up their top button, a priority to get them far in life.
- Student2.06 October 2021
Qe, a mockery of education
The priorities are very weird like the focus on uniform over education and the behaviour system is also messed up. You can get the same punishment for a too light shade of grey socks as for smoking, vandalism and bullying. This schools makes a mockery of education and I would not recommend going here if you want to seceded in any academic area, however I would recommend QE if you want to learn that your appearance is worth more than your knowledge. I think the uniform rules are sexist and the school does not encourage individuality. Furthermore I have been made to wake up 40 minutes erlier to get to school sooner so that I can sit through gender lessons when they only teach us about heterosexual relationships and we have even had lessons titled how to be a boy or a girl. The students are under too much pressure and if any student needs support it is hard to find. The new one way system introduced makes it difficult to arrive at lessons on time and you will miss lessons to sit in a room called rtl all day and 2 hours after school when revision could be happening and not learn because you have your top button not done up, at breaks teachers and employed 6th formers prowl around to check your top buttons as you go for your 20 min break. Also the rules are that students will be sent to rtl and detention if they are using the bathrooms between lessons. The school does not let students go to the bathroom in lessons and I think it embarrasses students that have to beg teachers to use the toilets in lessons, this defaces a human right. You are not allowed to fill up water bottles or go to the loo in the obscenely long 2 hr lessons even in the summer , from lack of water and too much sun I have had to stay off school becise I have become ill in a lesson. God help this school and the bunch of dicksplats who set up this corrupt system that sets children up to fail. Parents often regret sending their children here. Finally 9/10 the students going here finish school as chavs who no longer care about their grades but will know how to do their top button up

Avoid this school
The school is horrendous in every aspect and needs a complete overhaul. No support for anything, abuse of ‘rules’ and frankly if you live in the area you should look in to other schools.
- Student2.031 July 2021
Unfair
The smallest things get you sent to isolation for the full day and 2 hours after school. The smallest things include: top button not being done up, shirt not tucked in, tie being too loose or too one ‘stripe’ shorter than 7. They don’t care about what you have to say since you can’t appeal. It’s rubbish.
- Student2.031 July 2021
Quite Rubbish
The school is very strict and very unfair. Having your top button undone, your tie slightly short or loose, your shirt untucked and many more stupid reasons can get you sent to isolation all day + two hours after school with no chance of appealing since they never listen to you. They don’t care about the students, only their reputation.
- Employee1.025 July 2021
What are they thinking
This is a shambles lads
- Student1.018 July 2021
needs complete improvement
Ignore student voices, when abuse happens right infront of teachers eyes they don't do anything. Having a shirt untucked can land you an internal exclusion all day followed by a 2 hour detention. as you can see, the priorities lie with uniform but abuse is thrown under the rug. they say they will address topics such as harassment, which they do, but they never act on it. all talk no actions.

Students view
Behaviour system is awful and very unfair, teachers will vary in strictness so u have to change how u act to fit their views each lesson. They dont care about your mental heath as much as they say they do, food is very nice and it has quite good departments. It has a low budget which is hardly spent on the students. Unfair
- Student2.016 July 2021
Queen Elizabeth’s school from a students view
Its an alright school, u learn some new stuff, however the behaviour/detention system is awful. You can get isolation for having a top button undone or wearing white socks, but get away with bullying. It doesnt really care about its students mental health and showers you with homework and consequences yet you still learn abit each day
- Student1.025 April 2021
Disgrace
It is horrible they don’t care about how you feel they only care about uniform and what we look like and not our learning... it is honestly like a prison you can’t escape it
- Student4.05 April 2021
QE ????? ? ??? ??ℎ?????? ??????
Most teachers have kind intentions but the behaviour system sucks, people can’t get away with white socks but bullying someone for a couple months unscathed... All the departments are good and you usually go away learning something.
- Student4.026 February 2021
QE is pretty pog
Teachers are good all round. The behaviour system is kind of broken and some teachers then act like they are law enforcement. All departments are great though. Would recommend if you were to move into the area.
