The Queen's School, Chester

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Queen's School is an independent day school for girls aged 4-18 located in Chester. It was founded in 1878 and originally called The Chester School for Girls. However, in 1882, Queen Victoria (who was the school's first patron) issued a royal decree naming the school as The Queen's School, the only school in England to hold this distinction. Among its notable alumni are the first woman mayor of Chester and the first woman president of the Freemen and Guilds in over 800 years. The school currently enrolls approximately 611 pupils.
