Queens is a leading independent day school for girls between the ages of 11 and 18, occupying four large houses on Harley Street in central London. Our outstanding Prep School, for girls aged 3 to 11, is situated in a separate building, just around the corner on Portland Place. We want Queens to be a community where every individual thrives.
Queen's has been at the forefront of education for over 175 years. Established in 1848, Queen's was the first British educational establishment to give academic qualifications to women. We are now one of the most high-achieving, diverse and forward-looking girls schools in London.
We live in extraordinary times where young women have many conflicting pressures on them, and a choice of many different paths they can take through life. This needs an extraordinary school, and we believe we have one at Queen s. Ours is a community where success comes not from pressure, but from tolerance, kindness and respect.
Supported by outstanding teaching and pastoral care, pupils learn not just their subjects, but to value themselves and each other, leaving with a clear sense of who they are and how they can make a difference.
