Community-orientated

A confident Elizabethan feels a sense of belonging to the communities of which he is part. He will be committed to each at an appropriate level and will engage thoughtfully with their values. He will both gain from those communities himself and give something back to benefit others. He will be adaptable to different situations, including social, educational and professional settings, whether encountered at school, at university or in future adult life.

He will be especially able to understand that making mature, balanced choices and working hard will benefit not only himself but others around him.

Responsible in his outlook, he will contribute to a thriving School community from Year 7 through to Year 13, helping to ensure it has the right culture – one that is safe and supportive for all boys, both in person and online. He will grasp the worth of our whole Elizabethan community – including parents, alumni, teachers and his peers appreciating, among other benefits, the impact it can have on personal development. He will appreciate our diverse QE pupil community, and the work that goes into equality, diversity and inclusion. He will be enthusiastic about contributing to the School’s work in the local area to increase opportunity and enrich the lives of those outside, whether, for example, that’s through sport, music, or QE’s voluntary service programme.
