She also changed the school badge to a metal material with a crown representation on it with the permission of Buckingham Palace. The school was named after Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother in 1952 and hosted a visit from Her Majesty in the 1970s. In 2002, QEC celebrated its 50th anniversary. The four sports houses of the QEC have been named after female personalities in history, namely Pankhurst, Nightingale, Curie and Fry.
