Queen’s College Preparatory School

Queen’s College Preparatory School is an independent day school for girls aged 3–11 in the heart of central London, where academic ambition is balanced with warmth, creativity and exceptional pastoral care. From Little Corgis Pre-School through to Year 6, every girl is encouraged to be curious and develop the confidence to embrace new challenges in an environment where she is truly known as an individual.

Led by Co-Heads Ailsa Buddle and Georgia Habanananda, who together bring more than 17 years of leadership experience at QCPS, the school combines a deep understanding of every child with a shared commitment to helping each pupil flourish. As the preparatory school to Queen’s College, London – historically the first school to award academic qualifications to girls ,and recognised in the Spear’s Top 100 Independent Schools in the World 2026 – QCPS offers the first stage of an exceptional educational journey, with many pupils progressing seamlessly to the senior school.

Girls benefit from a broad and inspiring curriculum enriched by specialist teaching in subjects including Music, Drama, Sport, Languages and STEAM from an early age. Beyond the classroom, an extensive co-curricular programme encourages pupils to discover new passions and develop their talents, all while building lasting friendships. At the heart of everything is a nurturing pastoral culture that enables girls to feel supported and confident enough to take intellectual risks and fulfil their potential.

By the time they leave QCPS, girls are confident, articulate, compassionate and intellectually curious young people, exceptionally well prepared for Queen’s College, London and other leading senior schools. More importantly, they leave with the resilience and self-belief to thrive wherever life takes them.
