Societies for students in Years 7-9
These societies are aimed at students in Years 7-9; they aim to enrich students’ learning experience. QEHS staff run the societies, assisted by Sixth Form students. Exact details of when the societies start running is published in tutor notices in September. Where there is a small charge for a society to cover resources and refreshments, this can be paid via ParentMail. Parents should sign students up for Societies at the beginning of the year; these societies run from 12.45-13.15 and students are advised to only attend one society per week.
