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:
“If rightly made, a boat would be a sort of amphibious animal, a creature of two elements, related by one half its structure to some swift and shapely fish, and by the other to some strong-winged and graceful bird.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It is difficult even to choose the adjective
For this blank cold, this sadness without cause.
The great structure has become a minor house.
No turban walks across the lessened floors.
The greenhouse never so badly needed paint.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“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.)
