Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet

For four hundred and fifty years, successive generations of boys have benefited from an education at Queen Elizabeth’s School. Today the School is a selective and state-maintained secondary Academy for 1300 boys, aged 11-18. We are located in High Barnet in North London and we are proud of the rich diversity within our community. Outcomes for our pupils are exceptional.

Our inspiring heritage is reflected in the School Chronicle, which is read annually on Founder’s Day and which records the Governors’ requirement that the education we provide should be as much in “good manners as in nurture for learning”. Similarly, our mission has long been “to produce young men who are confident, able and responsible”. We have re-defined what that means for the 2020s, gleaning the best from our historic traditions and from our experience as one of the country’s leading academic schools, and then combining that with the qualities which a new generation of Elizabethans will need to flourish in an inter-connected and fast-changing world.
