Queen Elizabeth's School is an academy school, with a sixth-form, in Crediton, Devon. It has 1300 students.^[2]^[1] It was formed as a comprehensive school in the early 1970s by a merger of The Shelley Secondary Modern with the Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School.

History

The grammar school was founded in 1547 and started teaching in 1572 with 10 pupils. The grammar school moved to new buildings in 1861, and merged with the girls' high school in 1966.^{[citation needed]}

The college's coat of arms shows the figure of Saint Boniface, the patron saint of the town.

The school gained academy status on 1 April 2011.^[1]

The school previously had state boarding provision, but this was closed in 2019.^[3]
