Predominately white
Definitely not a diverse school at all, it is a predominately white school. Experienced racism on multiple occasions and reported it to the appropriate staff yet basic action was taken. This school turns a blind eye to bullying and racism but when it comes to homophobia they’re quick to put students in isolation. Sometimes for just having an opinion of disagreeing with homosexuality. Do not recommend for people of colour!

Head teacher is rude obnoxious and says things that are found offensive to students whether or not he means it . School should be a place you enjoy coming to but he makes it feel like it's not
Horrible!
Honestly no , I had to leave this school not even through my first year at qegs , I didn't even get too year 8 . There's the odd staff that are lovely , but most staff are awful, there was a teacher that pushed me into a class room because I refused to go in because I was crying , I was trying to walk away from a staff and she grabbed my hand , I don't recommend this school , most of the reviews are bad but it's so true . I would never go into class because the stupid teachers would never help me with work , don't put your kids in this school , I know I'm only a year 8 but trust me , it'll be the worst thing you will ever do. It'll drain the life out of your kids
Qegs>>>>>
Well one teacher is (in my opinion) really bad. But other than that it's such a good school I actually love it so much, I haven't been here for long but everyone is so nice, older kids are a little aggressive going down the stairs but that doesn't bother me. It's just really good

Bad wheelchair access
Wheelchair access is terrible I had to go up and down like 5 flights of stairs as the lifts decided to break, no lift up to the second part of the cooking room.
Oh and Mr Machin is the best 😎

Ok, not terrible not great either
A few good teachers, a lot of bad ones, eg can’t control classes, never talk just shout at students, tell students off for nothing. ALOT of boring lessons. ~ E, Year 8 qegs student x
Amazing school
I still go to the school its done really well with the pandemic and teachers have helped me return to school from not going for about 1 year. The teachers are amazing at their jobs and really supportive when im a parent im definitely sending my kid or kids here
Great teaching
The core subject teachers just can't control the class. FAKE grammar school. Don't ever send your child here, you will deeply regret it.
