My husband and I believe that sending our daughters to Queen Elizabeth's has been the best investment we have ever made.
Parent
Senior Section
My daughter absolutely loves everything about the school. Older pupils are great role models. Class sizes are quite small and teachers have a lot more time to spend 1 to 1 with the pupils. Teachers are backed up by Teaching Assistants. The school has been spot on for my daughter.

We feel very blessed that both of our boys are flourishing at Queen Elizabeth's.

Our boys have both been incredibly privileged to have had the best Junior School experience. For both of our boys to have had such happy times where they have thrived and made lifelong friends, then these years have really been priceless!
