Faversham Elizabethans - Association of Former Pupils and Staff
The Faversham Elizabethans is an association for all former students and staff of Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School and its predecessors – The Faversham Grammar School for Boys and The William Gibbs School for Girls.
We last held a reunion at the school for all former students and staff on Saturday 27th April 2024 to celebrate the expansion of the school to six forms of entry. Guests had the opportunity to visit the new sports hall, dining room and theatre and see the new landscaping at the front of the school. It was a very successful event and provided a great opportunity for fellow students and staff to meet and share memories about their time at the school.
We have an Annual Lunch in October, which is held in the school dining hall with delicious food cooked by the school catering team from Cucina. Under a gazebo at the school's Summer Fete in July we host a display highlighting aspects of the school's history with a variety of photos, magazines and attendance registers. Both events give former pupils a chance to meet up with others and share their memories.
One of the association's aims is to support the school financially. The Association has made a contribution towards the seating for the theatre which was officially opened on 10th November 2021 and this is recognised on the benefactors board in the foyer (the featured photo was taken in the theatre of some members attending lunch in 2021). We also contribute to prizes for Senior Prizegiving each year.
Badminton sessions are held on Thursday evenings in the new improved Sports Hall, which all our members are welcome to attend (see photo below taken in Sports Hall October 2023).

Alumni Spotlight
One of the highlights of life at Queen Elizabeth’s is seeing our students flourish long after they leave us. We love catching up with our alumni and celebrating the incredible, varied marks they are making on the world.
These journeys prove that the lessons learned here resonate for a lifetime. We frequently invite former students back to school to share their experiences, providing invaluable inspiration for our current pupils. We want every student to know that their interests can take them anywhere.
