There are large kitchens and sitting rooms with comfortable chairs, 20-channel satellite TV and video.

Polish, poise and purpose

After a day spent in serious study, this is a perfect haven for relaxation and, when the sun shines, beautiful gardens and much of the 100 acres of grounds, provides a welcome facility. There is an interesting schedule of visits off-campus to the theatre ballet, art galleries and museums. Reciprocal visits by or to other schools for sports, social and cultural activities are frequent.

Our curriculum aims to provide the ‘polish’ which contributes so much to success in later life. Social skills are encouraged and combined with the social activities which abound, give every pupil an excellent opportunity to enhance their academic achievements.

Social events which range from the more formal Headmasters Dining Club through to discos with entertainment are part of an integrated social programme. Sixth Form at Q.E. is the culmination of a student’s school career, a special time which all Old Ethelburgian’s remember with great fondness.
