Queen’s College, London is an independent day school for girls aged 11–18 in the heart of central London, combining academic ambition with curiosity and exceptional pastoral care. Founded in 1848, Queen’s holds a unique place in educational history as the first institution in Britain established to provide girls with an academic education and recognised qualifications.
That pioneering spirit continues to define the school today. Alongside a broad and academically rigorous curriculum, Queen’s encourages pupils to think critically and innovatively as well as engage confidently with the challenges of a rapidly changing world. From September 2026, the College will introduce Future Frontiers – an interdisciplinary qualification unique to Queen’s and endorsed by Eduqual, exploring emerging fields including artificial intelligence, neuroscience and psychology.
Beyond the classroom, girls are encouraged to pursue their passions through an extensive programme of clubs, societies, sport, music, drama and leadership opportunities. A culture of kindness, respect and aspiration enables every pupil to flourish as an individual while developing the confidence to make a meaningful contribution to society.
As a proud member of the Girls’ Schools Association, Queen’s remains true to its founding purpose: empowering young women with the knowledge, confidence and perspective to shape their own futures.
