The Staff are well qualified and enthusiastic with a low turnover which encourages stability. There is support for children with certain learning difficulties.

The school is an international community comprising 26 different nationalities.

In both the Primary and Secondary Departments of The Lady Elizabeth School, emphasis is firmly placed on each pupil’s personal effort. Initiatives taken by members of staff encourage those they teach to respect themselves and their own talents.

At Secondary Level, the exposure to so many different courses and the choice that is available, allows pupils to choose from a wide variety of subjects and to start planning their professional lives. The School offers many different subject options at Secondary level that satisfy every student’s individual needs and allow them to reach the highest academic level in their studies.

The Sixth Form is a vibrant body of students who continue to display multiple talents in so many areas, both academically and socially. Former pupils attend over 40 universities in 8 countries, following a wide variety of courses.
