Boarding Handbooks - Are You QE Ready?

Download our handy guide for new boarding students. We have created a series of "QE Ready" booklets for each age range. These booklets will give you an introduction to your House Master/Mistress, a list of things to bring, an outline of a day in the life of a boarder, and some useful information.

Bus times

The school bus service at QE now covers even more surrounding areas, across ten routes, for the 2024/25 school year.

Anyone wishing to sign up for the service must complete a transfer request form upon starting with the service, and each academic year thereafter. This can be found by logging into the Parent Portal and completing the Annex K form.

NOTE: Spaces on our bus services are limited and priority will be given to those requiring a five-day return service. This is to ensure that the service is running at maximum capacity.
