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:
“I’m a Sunday School teacher, and I’ve always known that the structure of law is founded on the Christian ethic that you shall love the Lord your God and your neighbor as yourself—a very high and perfect standard. We all know the fallibility of man, and the contentions in society, as described by Reinhold Niebuhr and many others, don’t permit us to achieve perfection.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“A committee is organic rather than mechanical in its nature: it is not a structure but a plant. It takes root and grows, it flowers, wilts, and dies, scattering the seed from which other committees will bloom in their turn.”
—C. Northcote Parkinson (1909–1993)
“A special feature of the structure of our book is the monstrous but perfectly organic part that eavesdropping plays in it.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
