Some schools or GCSE year groups are so large that it is not surprising that you become just another body walking around the place. We are not large, we have no need to be, neither do we want to be. Queen Ethelburga's College will normally be home for approximately 400 students. Elsewhere on the Campus there could be another 50 Collegiate Sixth Form students. As you can see we are able to treat you as an individual. This also means that our superb facilities and resources are available to all.

Each term there is a written report. There are ample opportunities regularly throughout the term for you to discuss with the staff your progress and to sort out any problems with your work. There are parents meetings throughout the year when parents have the opportunity to meet staff and generally discuss any matters they wish. Our ratio of staff to students is well above that found in many other educational establishments. This allows you to receive the personal attention that often is the difference between success and failure.
