Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College, or QE, is a sixth form college in Darlington, County Durham, England.
It was established in 1970 on the site of the old Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, designed by George Gordon Hoskins. Much of the building was refurbished following a fire in 1987, and in 2004 a large extension was completed including a new sports hall, art department and atrium study area.[1]
Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College is one of the most highly rated colleges in England and has almost 2000 students, mostly aged 16-18. It offers around 40 full-time AS and A level courses, some vocational courses and GCSEs, as well as several part-time evening classes. In the 2007 New Year's Honours list, the then College Principal, David Heaton, was awarded the OBE for services to further education.[2]
