How do I apply to QE?
Applying to Queen Ethelburga’s is a simple and friendly process. Contact our Admissions Team via our enquiry form, by phone, or email.
A dedicated member of our team will support you every step of the way. We are here to help answer any questions, tour you around the school and support your child's first days at QE.
What are the entry requirements?
QE is a non-selective school, which means we don’t have formal academic entry requirements.
Yet, we do ask all applicants to complete a cognitive abilities test. This helps our teachers understand each student’s strengths and how they learn best.
How do I apply as an international student?
The application process for international students is different to the UK entry.
Find out how we ensure your child is the right fit for QE on the International Application Process page. The application involves an interview with an international rep and an English test.
What bus routes are available to QE?
Day students can choose to travel via bus or train to get to Queen Ethelburga's. We have bus routes across Yorkshire, including York, Harrogate and Leeds.
Discover the right bus or train route for you on our Travel to School page.
How can I visit the school?
You can tour the school and speak to academic staff at one of our five Open Days across the academic year. For families with younger children, we host Stay and Play sessions every two weeks. Or, your child can sample a day at Queen Ethelburga's by attending a Taster Day.
