Selection Criteria: Selective

Admission Details

ADMISSIONS 11+: The main point of admission to Queen's College, London is at 11+, when there is a three-form entry. Applicants come from all over London, from a wide range of both independent prep schools and state primaries. While they are required to meet the same academic standards as other applicants, candidates from Queen's College Preparatory School follow a different entry procedure.

They are a selective school, but not narrowly so. Entry at 11+ is on the basis of an entrance exam (one common exam and mark scheme for all of the Consortium schools), an interview and a reference requested from an applicant's current school. 

ADMISSIONS 16+ (SIXTH FORM): Admission to Sixth Form is on the basis of an interview with the Head of the Senior College and a good reference (with predicted GCSE grades) from the candidate's current school.

Fees

Registration and entry fees

There is a non-returnable registration fee of £150.

When a place is accepted, an entry deposit of £3,000 is payable.  £1,000 of this will be deducted from a pupil's first term's bill. The remaining £2,000 will be refunded when a pupil leaves the College, provided the appropriate notice has been given.

Tuition Fees

For the school year 2023-24, tuition fees have been set at £7, 995 per term, payable in advance.

The Council reserves the right to increase tuition fees without notice in the event of an increase in the approved scale of teachers' salaries.

Extras 

Fees for extras such as lunches, trips and textbooks are charged in arrears. The cost of individual music lessons are invoiced by, and paid directly to, the Visiting Music Teacher.

Discounts 

A discount of 20% is given on tuition fees for a third sibling attending Queen's whilst her two older sisters are still in the school.

Fees are payable termly by Direct Debit and parents are sent a Direct Debit mandate when their daughter joins Queen's.

Interest will be charged on any school account which becomes overdue, and the Council may require the withdrawal of a girl whose fees are persistently late. Unfortunately, no remission of fees can be granted for absence.

A term's notice in writing must be given before the withdrawal of a girl from the College or a term's fees in lieu of notice will be payable.

 

Scholarships

 

Academic, Music, Drama, Dance and Art scholarships are awarded at 11+.

In the case of Music, Drama, Dance and Art scholarships at 11+, applicants who have indicated that they would like to be considered for an award will be invited to submit a short video or portfolio.  Shortlisted candidates will then be invited into the College for auditions/further assessment.  Results for 11+ scholarships will be released at the same time as the 11+ entry results. 

Academic scholarships are also awarded on entry to the Senior College at 16+ (Sixth Form). Both internal and external candidates are welcome to apply, and scholarship examinations are held each year in November. Scholarships may be held for the two years' study up to A-level.

A bursary may be awarded in addition to a scholarship if financial support is necessary.
