Queen Elizabeth Hall (Queen's)
We are delighted to announce that our fifth girls’ house, opened in September 2023, is called Queen Elizabeth Hall (Queen’s).
Construction began during Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s Jubilee year as we honoured her extraordinary personal qualities and contribution over her seventy years on the throne.
One of the earliest official visits made by Her Late Majesty was to Shrewsbury in 1952, as the School marked its 400th birthday. Queen Elizabeth toured the School and opened the Queen’s Terrace, in front of the Main School Building. Seventy years on, we mark our deepest respect and gratitude for Her Late Majesty’s dignified leadership and loyal service.

Introducing Queen's
Queen’s is home to up to 70 boarding and day girls.
The House features a double-height house hall overlooking the picturesque town of Shrewsbury and the meandering River Severn.
Queen Elizabeth Hall has been designed by Old Salopian architect Adrian James, with the secure garden featuring an ancient cedar tree as a focal point.
Queen’s is Green – it is the first ‘no gas’ boarding house at Shrewsbury, and features heat pump heating.
Our pupil-led Eco Committee was extensively involved in this development, ensuring that we maintain the green heart of our school site.
The official colours of Queen Elizabeth Hall (Queen’s) are royal purple and dark green.
