The ProgrammeThrough our annual QE Connect Programme, we bring schools together for a diverse range of enrichment opportunities, including:
These shared experiences enable students from different schools and backgrounds to learn from one another, develop new skills and build lasting connections. They also provide valuable leadership opportunities for our older students, who act as positive role models while developing their communication, teamwork and organisational skills.

Events
|
Our 2026–27 brochure showcases the exciting range of opportunities available to local schools throughout the academic year. Please use the button in the bottom-right corner to view the brochure in full-screen mode. Schools can register their interest in any event within the programme. While we endeavour to accommodate all requests, places are limited and demand may exceed capacity for some events. Where necessary, we aim to distribute opportunities fairly across our network of schools. The QE Connect Team will be in touch approximately 4–6 weeks before each event to confirm places, attendance numbers, transport arrangements (where applicable) and final event details. For information about bookings, transport and event arrangements, please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions on pages 13–15 of the brochure or contact QEConnect@qe.org. We look forward to welcoming you and your students to a QE Connect event soon! |
Local Outreach
We work closely with a local SEND school to create meaningful shared learning experiences for students and staff across both school communities. Through access to our sports facilities, careers talks, campus tours supporting Gatsby Benchmark achievement, and joint activities and events, young people can learn alongside one another, build confidence and develop an appreciation of different experiences and strengths.
Community engagement is an important part of life at QE. Our students regularly support local initiatives and charitable causes through care home visits, fundraising and awareness campaigns, and collections for local foodbanks and toy appeals. These opportunities encourage empathy, broaden perspectives and inspire young people to make a positive contribution to the communities around them.
We welcome opportunities to build new partnerships with local schools, community groups and organisations, creating enriching experiences that benefit young people and strengthen our local community.
