The Scholarsโ€™ journey begins

As well as being Head of Religion and Philosophy, Zak leads our digital vision. He was instrumental in developing our excellent online learning offering during lockdown, much to the relief of our parents, and is now leading the roll out of our school device programme.

Last week the Year 7 Scholarsโ€™ Programme boys participated in a fantastic Retreat Day hosted by the conference centre at the Bristol Folk House.

Fuelled by fantastic hot chocolate and delicious pastries from the Folk House Cafรฉ, their introductory session provided some helpful background to the programme and an overview of the various components, including subject enrichment projects, enrichment reading novels and twilight enrichment sessions. They then listened to one anotherโ€™s presentations on the themes of identity and inspiration, and concluded with a discussion of the opening chapter of Neil Gaimanโ€™s amazing novel, The Graveyard Book.

After three and a half hours of hard intellectual work, they found that they had built up quite an appetite! They were well rewarded by a fabulous lunch at the award-winning Three Brothersโ€™ Burgers, and rounded out their Retreat Day by learning a new skill-set: how to play proper baseball (to the considerable amusement of those who were enjoying a sunny afternoon in Queenโ€™s Square)!

The Scholarship Programme is designed to meet the learning needs of students of very high academic ability, by providing a continuous programme of academic enrichment from Years 7 โ€“ 11.

At QEH Junior School, learning goes beyond the classroom with a wide range of clubs in sports, arts, STEM, and more. With expert coaching and sessions throughout the day, every pupil can discover new passions and develop key skills.

The QEH community gathered at Bristol Cathedral to celebrate Charter Day, honouring the 1590 Royal Charter and the values that continue to shape the school. The service featured historic readings, powerful music, and reflections on inclusion, legacy, and unity across generations.

Live theatre is here to stay at QEH, as pupils from Years 3 and 4 put on an incredible production of Jack and the Beanstalk last week in our theatre.

Junior Prospectus

With our two sons being at this school over the past 13 years, we could not be happier with the amazing teachers, teaching and all the extra activities outside of the curriculum. Both boys have come away with outstanding results and aside from that as perfectly rounded, confident and well-mannered young men. We leave today so thanks to the school for everything, we shall miss these days.
