CAVENDISH ROAD
QUEEN’S ROAD
Queen Elizabeth’s School, Barnet, was founded in 1573 and is one of the oldest and most academically successful schools in the country.
In line with Queen Elizabeth I’s instruction in its charter ‘for ever to establish a Grammar School for the education, learning and instruction of Boys and Youth...in the said Town of Barnet’, QE has deep local roots.
The School’s mission is to produce young men who are confident, able and responsible. It aims to help pupils fulfil their boundless potential, with an emphasis on free-thinking scholarship, creative arts, sport, and a very wide range of co-curricular activities.
Community outreach is a key part of the School’s ethos and includes the use of sports and music facilities by members of the local Barnet community.
