Term 1 Newsletter 2025/2026

Dear Parents and Carers

Term 1 of the academic year has flown by and we are delighted to be able to publish this term’s newsletter and share with you all that has been happening, both within and beyond the classroom. As you will see, our students have been involved in a vast range of activities ranging from theatre and field trips to EPQ presentations, MFL exchanges, lunch-time gigs and  - somewhat obscurely - searching for ducks! It has been great to see so many students getting involved in the many opportunities on offer. 

We were extremely grateful to all those students who helped on our very successful open morning and open evening events - they were a huge credit to the school and we were particularly impressed by Kaden, Rosie, Olivia and Alex who delivered such excellent talks to our prospective students and their parents. We are always delighted to show the school to visitors and our students are most certainly our best advertisement. 

Last weekend students from across the school (and students from other local schools) were involved in our student-led Model United Nations Conference. This was a fantastic event, where once again our students were at the forefront - leading, negotiating, debating, challenging and working with each other, to research and explore a wide range of global issues. 

Thank you as ever for your support this term - and in particular thank you for your generous donations to our school fund this term. We are hoping to be able to go ahead in purchasing a new laser cutter, but are not quite there yet. If you would still like to donate, we would be very grateful - all the relevant information is on the last page of the newsletter. 

We hope that all of our students and staff have a restful half-term and wish those that are off on the QuEST trip to California a safe journey and a wonderful experience. We are looking forward to an equally successful Term 2!

Kind regards

Mrs A J McIlory MA

The Woman in Black - Theatre trip - Year 9 

This term, Year 9 went by coach to Alexandra Palace in London to see a production of The Woman in Black - a text they studied in Year 8. There was great anticipation as it was billed as being a frightening experience! Students clearly enjoyed their afternoon and their positive feedback about the play confirms it!

"I absolutely loved the play! I thought that the performance was completely on point and the jump scares were terrifying. It was a great school trip and it was such a fun play to go and see!" Saffron W.

"I liked how they only used a few props and they changed settings using just sound and lighting. It was interesting how they could make certain scenes very tense and scary without having a completely different set and loads of extra props." Kim S. 

"I really enjoyed it, I would definitely watch this again. The acting was superb as the two actors had to keep switching characters which I thought was amazing and the actor playing the woman in black was also excellent. The lighting created a very good atmosphere. It really captured the gothic nature of the play. 10/10 performance!" Max N.

"It was a very surreal experience for the audience to watch the story of The Woman in Black. The lighting and the sound made it feel very real and overall it was a great experience!" Xavi L. 

"Seeing The Woman In Black was an amazing experience and was truly terrifying! I found it fascinating how they used lights and shadows to create different moods. I also liked how they used sound and recorded clips to really make us feel like we were living in the story. The actors were incredible and made me forget I was watching a show! I would definitely go again!" Lilly G.

"I liked how the play was performed by using only three people. That was very impressive." Rory S.

"The play, The Woman In Black, was an impressive and innovative performance of the classic novel by Susan Hill, with the whole performance being played by three actors, performing flawlessly and seamlessly. The Acting was also very expressive and impactful, transforming  a single, simple set into many unique scenes which were further improved by the great use of lighting and sound effects (and the occasional jump scare), to frighten and shock the audience. The Woman In Black is a great performance to watch and enjoy, 4.5 Stars!" Sebastian B.
 

"I thought the sound was of really good quality all round us, as if  it was really happening. I also thought the acting was amazing with only three characters. The tension was built up very well." Frank B.

AMG comes to QE!

73 years of German Exchange with the Albertus Magnus Gymnasium in Cologne.

On Sunday we met up with some of the German and English exchange partners and went to Dreamland. We had an awesome time! We had traditional chips on the beach and it tasted so good.

On Monday we all went on a school trip and walked from Herne Bay to Whitstable. It was a beautiful walk and we all enjoyed the views along the coast. Then we went bowling and it was very fun and it was quite a close game.

On Tuesday, the German partners went to London. When they got back we heard all about it, they loved shopping and exploring London.

Wednesday was the day where we went to school together. They found it really interesting how our school worked compared to theirs and loved all the grass, greenery and of course the canteen!

Thursday was another good day, we all went to Canterbury and completed a town trail quiz, looked around the city and went shopping. Some people went to Taco Bell, it was really delicious. 

On Thursday evening a group of us gathered together at a beach hut and had pizza, hot chocolate and a bonfire on the beach with smores - we had a great time.

 
Friday, sadly we had to say goodbye to our German friends. We loved having them stay, made loads of memories with our new friends and are very much looking forward to November where we will stay with their families in Cologne.

EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES

This year we celebrated the European Day of Languages at QE with a range of activities, getting the whole school involved in this celebration of ‘languages open hearts and minds’ motto. In addition to interactive activities during form time, some of our students presented an introduction to their native language at lunch time, where pupils learnt basic greetings and numbers in Polish, Bulgarian, Lithuanian, Spanish, Italian, German, French, Moldovan, Romanian and Czech. It was amazing to see our wonderful students leading these sessions; what great role models! 

Thanks to all participants and we look forward to more language fun next year!

Year 11 Fieldwork - Reculver

This term, Year 11 ventured out to Reculver for the compulsory element of their fieldwork, which they will be examined on in the summer. The weather ahead of the day was not looking promising but thankfully on the day, aside from it being a little windy in the morning, the rest of the day was clear skies and warm weather.  

Students spent the day investigating the impact of coastal management strategies on coastal processes. We measured pebble size, pebble angularity and the shape of beaches.  Whilst on the face of it this may not appeal to all, students were themselves surprised by how much they enjoyed it. A highlight of the day seemed to be throwing oranges in the sea to measure the direction of longshore drift - although it turned into a bit of a competition about who could throw furthest.  

Well done to all those involved and all staff who helped out that day to make it a success. Now back to the classroom to write up and analyse our findings. In the next few terms, the same year group will be exploring deprivation in Faversham and to what extent it varies across different areas of the town.

What's been happening in Quest? 

This has been an exciting term for QuEST! Firstly, we welcomed the new Year 12s who immediately integrated well. Many of the existing QuEST projects have seen great growth and new ideas have formed, leading to an array of interesting projects being worked on, which will be detailed later in this newsletter. We all cannot wait to see what they achieve this year. 

Additionally, QuEST hosted a talk by Sir Martyn Poliakoff. He started with a Q&A session for Year 7 where there was a non-stop bombardment of questions for the entire time. He also delivered a fascinating demonstration for the Year 12 chemistry students. He was also able to enjoy the EPQ presentations that were happening that day, allowing QE students to showcase their hard work. Finally, he gave a fascinating lecture to students from all years in the theatre. His lecture explored two main topics; supercritical fluids and how chance events had affected his career. He engaged everyone in the room and inspired many students. It was an honour to host such a renowned scientist and the event truly started off QUEST’s year with a bang!

Alexis E. QuEST President

This term in Roboquest, my project has focused on building a mini car prototype powered by a Raspberry Pi. The goal of this project is to design a small, intelligent vehicle that can be used in disaster-affected areas to help with navigation, assessment and data collection. By combining mechanical design, electronics and programming, I aim to create a tool that could assist rescuers and emergency teams in situations where human access is too dangerous.

The car frame has already been assembled, ensuring that it is put together well and able to hold all its components together. Once the frame was complete, I moved on to the wiring and electronics, which form the heart of the system. The Raspberry Pi acts as the central processor, controlling the motors, sensors and power distribution. This small computer is used for robotics because it allows for real-time programming, easy integration with sensors and wireless connectivity for remote control and data transmission.

The mini car will be equipped with a variety of sensors, including LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), which enables it to scan and map its surroundings in 3D. With LiDAR data, the Raspberry Pi can detect obstacles, calculate distances, and plan safe routes through debris or uneven terrain. Additional sensors such as ultrasonic detectors and cameras could be added to enhance environmental awareness.

My next steps include coding the navigation algorithms, integrating the sensor data and testing the car’s movement. This project will help to gain valuable experience in robotics, embedded systems and disaster-response technology. Ultimately, I hope this Raspberry Pi-powered mini car will show how robotics can have real world impacts.

This term MotorQuEST has recruited 10 new members to help us prepare for racing in April. Much of the work this term has been focused on researching 3 main categories: materials, aerodynamics (CAD) and sponsorship. These are all crucial in order to allow us to have the car ready to race by the start of the season. Development of our team has also been a priority this term, with our logo having been finalised and team branding in progress. 

We have decided on our team name being ‘APE Engineering’. Our three word motto is Ambition, Perseverance, Efficiency -  with which we hope to summarise our journey. 

Millie H. Member of MotorQuEST

This term in QuEST we have been lucky enough to have been put in contact with a member of Swale Borough Council by our mentor. We intend to use their pollution monitor, located in Sittingbourne, to test the accuracy of our own monitor. Our current plan is to leave our monitor next to the pollution monitor in Sittingbourne and then collect data over several weeks. We will then compare our data collected over that time to the data collected by the other monitor, which can be found online. We have also managed to downsize our monitor by designing and then buying PCBs, which simplify the monitor design and make it more compact by removing the need for wiring. Finally, we have begun the process of designing a box, which we will use when collecting data at the Sittingbourne monitor. We have been using the CAD software called Onshape to do this, and we will then 3D print the design using the science department’s printer.

Josie Y. Co-head of PollutionQuEST

This term BioQuEST and EcoQuEST have been very busy jumping straight into a new research project together in which we are investigating the effect of increased salt content in freshwater areas, an issue extremely prevalent today with climate change being central to a lot of our social policies and practices. Last week we conducted our first experiment into this research in which we exposed Daphnia (water fleas) to different solutions with varying salt concentrations and monitored both their behaviour and their mortality rate. This supplied us with some very strong results which are largely in line with our hypothesis which stated there would be a higher mortality rate in Daphnia exposed to higher salt concentrations. This was a very significant set of results for us as it just exemplified the effect that this salinization is having on the habitats of small aquatic organisms. Going forwards, we would like to repeat our experiment in order to confirm the reliability of our results and we will also look into the different variables that we can manipulate to further investigate the loss of biodiversity in freshwater areas. 

Summer W. Member of BioQuEST

In MedQuEST we aim to apply the theory that we learn about medicine in lessons and apply it through practical lab work. This helps us to understand interesting concepts in biology and chemistry, beyond our A Level curriculum.

Currently, we are planning an experiment to test the effectiveness of different concentrations of antibiotics on E-coli bacteria, in order to replicate processes which are made during drug development in the pharmacy industry. We are particularly interested in adding to our practical work findings using secondary research about antibiotic resistance and drug development processes, in order to understand the importance of certain processes when administering healthcare.

Grace K. Member of MedQuEST

This term, SpaceQuEST have been working on the ASGARD project. Affiliated with the ESA, this project involves us designing an experiment that will be sent 30km into the atmosphere of the Earth; a height which replicates the atmosphere on Mars. So far our idea is to measure the speed of sound and to compare the difference to that on earth. This is a very important part of aerodynamics where scientists need to know the speed of sound in order to know at what stage subsonic and supersonic flow will take place. They can then design propulsion systems accordingly. Our 7 members, if accepted into ASGARD, will have the opportunity to take our experiment to Belgium to launch our project on their gondolas.

Scarlett A. Member of SpaceQuEST

ChemQuEST is new this year! The aim of ChemQuEST’s first project is to research the consequences of energy drinks on a person's heart rate and metabolic rate. We are interested in this topic because many people our age consume energy drinks and they are commonly found in shops. 

We will be researching this topic by using a respirometer to measure the rate or respiration in maggots which have consumed energy drinks. We will also monitor Daphnia’s (water flea) and observe the effect of energy drinks on their heart rate. To fully understand the impact of these drinks, we will use water as a control and four different brands of energy drink; Monster, Lucozade, Red Bull and Blue Spark.

Beatrice W. Member of ChemQuEST

Junior STEM has restarted for this academic year, with our new Year 7 members having already carried out a variety of practical activities and investigations, from comparing the energy in types of crisps to extracting perfumes to then make their own deodorants and lip balms. 

Year 8 members have begun a rocket project which they will carry out until Christmas, which encompasses a variety of skills including design, presentation and planning within their teams over both terms. Both year groups will continue to develop a broad range of skills over the next term.

Kim R. Head of Junior STEM

Extended Project Qualification Talks

On Wednesday 24th September, more than 90 Year 13s individually presented their Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) to small groups including either a teacher, a professional from the Finance Team, or the visiting lecturer Sir Martyn Poliakoff (who you may recognise from his YouTube periodic table videos). 

Students demonstrated excellent presenting skills with confident detailed explanations of both the extended project journey and individually chosen projects. In the afternoon they manned their personal stalls, giving all the Year 12s an opportunity to be inspired for their own projects which they will complete over the next year.

Hello and welcome back - what a fantastic start to Term 1!

It's been a busy and vibrant start to the new school year! As we settle into Term 1, we wanted to update you on our ongoing commitment to improving our SEND resources. We're excited to share some great news. This year, we're investing in Quality First Teaching Toolkits for every department. The toolkit is designed to support SEND learners in the classroom and teachers can use it with students as and when they need it. This means our incredible teachers will have immediate access to high-quality resources right in their classrooms, allowing them to support students on a day-to-day basis, quickly and effectively.

Our SEND Inclusion Team has also expanded its support, offering new clubs in Student Support every lunchtime! You can find a full list of these extracurricular activities on the school website.

We will be sharing details throughout the year in our school bulletin and newsletter about a range of external workshops and courses focused on SEND information and parental/carer support that you may find valuable. Here is a list of organisations and a forthcoming event that may be of interest:

• For a wealth of support and information, you can access the KCC Parent Support Group and Services page HERE . This page is a fantastic resource, providing links to the Kent Resilience Hub, Multi-agency Specialist Hubs (MASH), Early Help and Families Hub.
• Parent SEND Information Day on Thursday 16th October at the Detling Showground. Please see the poster listed below for the booking QR code. 
• Parent workshop, Introduction to Understanding Autism - further information can be found on the poster below.  

Online Safety Update

At the start of the school year it is important for us to remind everyone of the need to be aware and vigilant regarding online safety. New students to our school are getting used to Google Suite and how we monitor internet usage, returning students are being reminded of their responsibilities and staff are trying to get their heads around changes in the online world.

Phone Scams

These are not new but the prevalence of them is quite significant. Despite their prevalence, there are always new ways that criminals are attempting to coerce people into parting with their money. Several years ago the "Hi Mum/Dad" scam became notorious and these types of messages are still being used. Scammers will pretend to be a son or daughter, apparently contacting from a different phone, to gain trust and then convince someone to send them money for an "emergency". Hints and tips for this scenario would include:

• Ask them to confirm they are your child by asking for a name or identifying bit of information! If they can't then it is likely a scam.
• Call or message your actual son/daughter on the number you have for them to see if they respond.
• Be proactive and see if your number is on any of your social media profiles. Avoid inputting your phone number into websites you do not completely trust.

Please see the Queen Elizabeth's website link, for more information on Phone Scams or see the National Cyber Security Centre website for advice on reporting these types of scams. 

Misinformation, Disinformation and 'Fake News' 

This is a key topic that children and young people need to be aware of in order to help them navigate the world of social media, read news correctly and ultimately be able to think and process information for themselves. Every new world event that happens, that could potentially divide opinion or be linked to politics in some way, will inevitably create an opportunity for social media platforms to be flooded with fake news. Whether this be disinformation created to purposefully deceive readers or misinformation where people mistakenly believe comments or half truths and reshare them to enforce an idea, the danger is that young people may not be able to decipher the truth for themselves. In an ideal world it would be possible to know straight away what is true and what is not but there are ways to make it easier:

• Check posts and articles from a variety of places to see if there are any discrepancies. Look for original articles to read the full detail that a comment or headline can't provide.
• Use verification services such as BBC Verify
• Find a trusted adult that is able to be unbiased and just look at the facts.

Filtering and Monitoring at Queen Elizabeth's 

As the vast majority of you will be aware, it is important for us, as a school, to make sure a safe online environment is accessible for our students. We use filtering and monitoring software to help us to do so. Every year we remind all students of ours and their responsibilities whilst using the school system with an assembly dedicated to online safety. If you have any questions about online safety, please do not hesitate to contact the School Office.

Hello Yellow Day

Thank you to all students for supporting YoungMinds and joining in with Hello Yellow Day last week.  Students wore non-uniform for the day and took part in our Duck Hunt which had students searching high and low around the school to find hidden ducks - a fantastic way to get everyone moving and working together.  Thanks to everyone's generosity, we successfully raised over £900, which will be split between YoungMinds and various school projects.

The Big Mental Health Conversation

Last week, our dedicated team of Year 10 Wellbeing Ambassadors attended The Big Mental Health Conversation at Detling. The event brought together individuals, organisations and advocates committed to improving mental health awareness and support in our community.

The event created a safe and open space to share experiences, explore challenges and discuss new ways to promote positive wellbeing. Through workshops and discussions, our Wellbeing Ambassadors gained valuable insight into how we can all play a role in fostering a culture where mental health is openly talked about and supported in our school.

Secondary School Workshops 

We have been asked to share with parents/carers, information about forthcoming workshops - please refer to the posters for further details. 

PTFA support: we need you!

The Friends of Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School would like to invite you to join us at our annual AGM on Tuesday 4th November, starting at 18:30 - 19:30. The agenda covers a review of activities over the last year and planning for the coming year. Joining the PTFA will give you the opportunity to meet and connect with other parents, discuss plans for the school and help decide how we spend our funds. We welcome parents with children in any year, so please email Juliette Love for more information: qegsptfa@gmail.com  

After the great success of raising £12,882 last year, we are planning another quiz night in March 2026, as well as another summer fête in July 2026. We support transitioning Year 6 students with second hand uniform stalls at events, however we also offer this service throughout the school year for all families. We include a free uniform service for Pupil Premium students. Please see the PTFA page on the school website for full details and request forms.

Please note that we cannot accept boys' school trousers or socks of any kind. Please drop the uniform off at the School Office.

Please consider using easyfundraising.com to make purchases, a few details are required to create an account, search Faversham to find us as a cause and off you go! There is absolutely no cost to you but this raises steady funding for the PTFA as a facilitator to the purchase. Easyfundraising.com

A Sporting Family 

Congratulations to brother and sister Barnaby P (Year 8) and Flora P (Year 7) who have both gone through a rigorous selection process to join the England talent pathway for water polo. As such they will now attend the regional talent centre training every fortnight; a multi-year pathway from which junior England and GB teams will be selected. Both players are training with the South East Regional teams as well as representing their home club Faversham and QE school. Barnaby recently represented Kent County in the inter-counties tournament in London. They follow in the footsteps of Ollie (Year 11) who was QE's last successful talent centre water polo player.

As a school, QE is looking forward to another water polo season; fielding u13 mixed and u15 boys and girls teams in the English Schools Competition. Several girls will be representing Faversham in the National Age Group water polo championships this November (more on this next term!) If anyone is interested in trying water polo, please contact Dr Perkins.

SUCCESS at the kent relay championships

wedding news

Congratulations to Miss Jackson who got married over the summer with a beautiful ceremony at St Mary’s Church in Bishopsbourne, followed by a bright and colourful reception at the village hall, where they ate, drank and danced the night away with their closest friends and family.

Half Marathon Challenge for Charity

Congratulations to Miss Mason, who recently completed the Royal Parks half marathon, running a picturesque route in central London where participants took in some of the capital's world-famous landmarks as well as Hyde Park, The Green Park, St James's Park and Kensington Gardens.

Miss Mason took on the challenge to help raise funds for a charity close to her heart,  Abigail's Footsteps. After her family suffered a tragic loss in 2021, the charity stepped in and offered support through a very difficult time. “This is a really tough challenge for me to complete as I am not the best or fastest of runners these days! But I was very grateful to have the opportunity to give back to the charity in some way.” 

Well done to Miss Mason who raised £1128.00 for  the charity!
