Queen Ethelburga's School was created in 1912.

Queen Ethelburga's School's motto is 'meaning Light being the test'.

B. R. Leftwich has written:

'A short history and guide to the Guild church of Saint Ethelburga-the-Virgin, within Bishopsgate' -- subject(s): Church history, St. Ethelburga-the-Virgin (Church : London, England)

The motto of Katharine Lady Berkeley's School is 'non palma sine pulvere'.

Queen Ethelburga's College as it is now ranked as the UK's number 1 top independent day and boarding school in the north for academic results. This is based on the average number of UCAS points per Year 13 student. Over 98% of Year 13 go on to first class Universities. Their boarding facilities are considered by many to be probably the best in the UK and Europe. In addition they give away over 200 Awards, Grants and Scholarships each year worth in excess of £2m+. So no contest!
