About Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet

For more than 450 years, successive generations of boys have benefited from an education at Queen Elizabeth's School. Our mission remains unchanged: to produce young men who are confident, able and responsible. While proud of our history, we are equally focused on preparing pupils to thrive in a rapidly changing world through the opportunities and challenges set out in our Boundless development plan.

I would highlight two matters at the outset.

• First, QE is a meritocracy. As a selective, non-denominational and non-fee-paying school, we offer opportunities equally, admitting and educating boys irrespective of parental income, residential location or religious affiliation.

• Second, QE offers far more than academic success alone. We expect all members of our community to engage fully in the wider life of the School, embracing the opportunities available through sport, music, drama, leadership, service and enrichment.

We are committed to academic excellence at the highest level. We celebrate intellectual achievement and consistently secure outstanding examination results, while encouraging pupils to think deeply, question freely and explore beyond the classroom. Through QE Futures and QE Flourish, our signature enrichment programmes, pupils enjoy a wide range of co-curricular opportunities and develop the knowledge, skills and character to thrive long after they leave us.

Outstanding pastoral care underpins everything we do. We seek to develop resilient, self-aware and community-minded young men who understand that success brings with it a responsibility to contribute positively to society.

QE continues to receive national recognition for the quality of education it provides. In 2026, Ofsted judged the School to be Exceptional in every category, The Sunday Times named QE Secondary School of the Year, and The Telegraph recognised it as England's leading grammar school.

These accolades are gratifying, but they matter chiefly because they reflect the opportunities available to our pupils. Our enduring focus remains on helping every Elizabethan fulfil his potential, contribute to his community and lead a successful, worthwhile life.
