[edit] History
Education in Bromyard can be traced back to 1394 when a chantry school was founded. After the dissolution of the chantries, the school was granted a charter for its re-foundation as a Boy's Grammar School by Queen Elizabeth I of England in 1566.
In 1968, the Grammar School, which had been admitting boys and girls from the beginning of this century, combined with the secondary school established in 1961 to form Queen Elizabeth School.
In [[1976], Sixth Form education was concentrated at Hereford Sixth Form College and this school became what it is today - a comprehensive school catering for pupils aged 11 to 16.
