What the school says...

The 100-strong QEH Junior School provides an enjoyable and enriched educational experience which is relevant and meaningful for every single boy. We aim to develop each boy's personal qualities, provide a sound foundation for the future, and ensure that every boy leaves recognising himself as a lifelong learner.

QEH Junior School is unique in Bristol and, being small, focuses on the individual, fostering a love of learning whilst nurturing the interests and talents of each boy.

We aim to be a happy place with strong pastoral care, academic excellence, and high standards in drama, sport and music. ...Read more
