The Wakefield Grammar School Foundation numbers amongst the country’s leading families of independent day schools.  There are three schools within the Foundation: Wakefield Grammar Pre-Preparatory School, Wakefield Girls’ High School and Queen Elizabeth Grammar School (for boys) which educate over 1700 students,aged 3 to 18.  An education at each is different in many ways but united by a guiding ethos, The Wakefield Way.  The Wakefield Way is to provide an education in a supportive, engaging and inclusive environment that inspires individuals to develop their abilities, strengthen their character and fulfil their potential. The Foundation schools are recognised as the top performing schools in Wakefield by The Good Schools Guide and rank within the top 10 northern independent schools by The Times.  The schools operate on a campus which includes a mix of historic and modern buildings and extensive sports fields situated in Wakefield, ideally located to the M1 and train station.
