queen elizabeth's grammar alford - a selective academy
Lincolnshire
Welcome to our website. It is a privilege to be Headteacher at Queen Elizabeth’s
Grammar, Alford, and I am very proud of our wonderful school with its caring,
friendly and aspirational ethos. Students are well-known individually and valued
as such. We place emphasis on supporting one another and mutual respect -
students’ behaviour clearly reflects this around school, in their charitable
work and the way they treat one another. The school’s motto is ‘Cor Unum via
Una’ – one in heart and goal. We value hard work and encourage students to
strive for excellence in all fields of their lives. Students are prepared for
life beyond school with the academic, social and emotional skills they will
need, whilst ensuring they have fun and enjoy their time at school, building
strong friendships and gaining the confidence they will require to excel. Queen
Elizabeth’s was founded in 1566 and we celebrated our 450th anniversary in 2016.
We are now a Selective Academy, currently having approximately 540 pupils on
roll. Formerly a Business & Enterprise College, students are encouraged to be
enterprising and departments all have good links with the business world.
Students can set up their own businesses, trading in school, and there is a
venture fund to support them.
