Structure
The school is divided into four houses (previously six), Abbey, Bruce, Carnegie and Denmark - each house with a guidance team of two teachers. Prior to 2004, each house had an Assistant Rector assigned to it however this changed when the school became more year group than house orientated and the depute rectors became Year Heads instead. Year heads no longer follow their year groups, as such the remits of the year heads are currently static.
Queen Anne has a flat-structured management system with one Rector and five Depute Rectors. Most departments have their own Principal Teacher (PT) however, in line with new Scottish Government guidelines the Curriculum Leader system has been adopted. As well as eight PTs for the guidance departments.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“The verbal poetical texture of Shakespeare is the greatest the world has known, and is immensely superior to the structure of his plays as plays. With Shakespeare it is the metaphor that is the thing, not the play.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“Slumism is the pent-up anger of people living on the outside of affluence. Slumism is decay of structure and deterioration of the human spirit. Slumism is a virus which spreads through the body politic. As other “isms,” it breeds disorder and demagoguery and hate.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
