[edit] History

Queen Elizabeth's High School originates in 1589, when Queen Elizabeth I granted a charter to establish Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School for boys. Gainsborough High School, a grammar school for girls, was founded in 1920. During the 1940s both schools re-situated to the present Morton Terrace site, on which the local technical college was also based. The schools merged to form the current setup of QEHS in 1983. The school currently has about 1180 students from a wide area.

The school has an orchestra and swing band.
