At eleven years of age pupils move up to our senior school, Queen Ethelburga’s, with which we share our superb campus. Queen Ethelburga’s College consistently achieves examination results well above the national average, and is proud to have a history of being one of the Sunday Times top schools for A-level passes.

This assurance of a very high quality senior school education with the continuity of remaining on a familiar, superb campus, makes Chapter House Preparatory School and Queen Ethelburga’s a combination which many parents find ideal. GCSE and A-level examinations may seem a distant prospect at the age of eleven, but this is exactly the time to plan the best senior school education for each individual.

Queen Ethelburga’s is a modern, forward-looking school with a record of excellent GCSE grades and a uniquely flexible approach to sixth form course options. These include A-levels, of course, which are still the preferred choice of most sixth formers but also the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma and vocational BTEC course in QE Faculty.

Career orientated courses are in increasing demand, and the Faculty offers an excellent choice of sixth form options which include courses in Business, Performing Arts, Music and Fashion as well as a range of others. Moving from Chapter House to Queen Ethelburga’s provides every child with the assurance of a first-class education, leading to the widest choice of sixth form studies available at any school.

Queen Ethelburga’s College is ranked as the UK’s top number 1 independent,
co-educational School in the North for academic results
