“In 1573 Elizabeth I issued a Charter “for the establishment of the Free Grammar School of Queen Elizabeth in Barnet for the education, bringing up and instruction of boys in Grammar and other learning and the same to continue for ever.” Today Queen Elizabeth’s remains a non-denominational, non-fee-paying, selective School with a mission of producing confident, able and responsible young men and as such continues to reflect the essential tenets of our Tudor Charter. As an ancient School supported by foundation and charitable trusts, Queen Elizabeth’s is able to offer excellent facilities on a superb 30 acre landscaped site. The School is situated a short distance from its original Tudor building and borders on Hertfordshire’s green belt. Excellent public and private transport links provide easy access to the School. The School is a meritocracy. Boys are admitted on academic merit irrespective of parental income, residential location or religious background. The resultant ability range and broad cultural mix of our pupils provide an optimum educational environment in which to prepare boys for life in the 21st Century. We engage our boys in an ambitious curriculum and a broad range of enriching extra curricular activities. We seek to foster intellectual poise in our boys by encouraging their independent thought. We also strive to ensure that each of our boys achieves personal fulfilment and goes on to make a serious contribution to society.”
