I cannot endorse Queens College as an educational institution, as my experience attending this school was nothing short of a nightmare. I spent a grueling eight years enduring the oppressive atmosphere created by a power-hungry and narcissistic head teacher, as well as a staff that seemed to take pleasure in belittling students and eroding their self-confidence on a daily basis. This school is far from international-friendly. If you don't have British blood and lineage, be prepared to face unrelenting arrogance and prejudice from the teaching staff day in and day out. The toxic culture they perpetuate is detrimental to the emotional well-being of any student who doesn't fit their narrow mold. One of the most baffling and counterproductive policies enforced at this school is the ban on students speaking foreign languages amongst themselves. The punishment for doing so? Detention. It's an utterly absurd restriction that only serves to highlight the school's intolerance for diversity and its resistance to embracing other cultures. To add insult to injury, students are coerced into purchasing Microsoft tablets with their own money, only to find that these devices are essentially useless. A mandatory certificate on these tablets blocks virtually every website and denies access to emails. This contract also grants the school the invasive power to track every activity on the device, even when students are outside school premises. It's a gross violation of privacy. Given the hefty fees we pay for this school, one would expect better. When it comes to university applications, the staff's attitude is nothing short of abhorrent. They belittle students for their ambitions and offer minimal assistance with the application process. However, if a student manages to secure a place at a prestigious school, suddenly the school administration is quick to take credit for the success. Favouritism runs rampant within the school, with certain students receiving preferential treatment while others are marginalised and overlooked. This culture of favouritism only serves to further divide the student body and create an environment of inequality. Incredibly, when students are awarded academic scholarships, they are asked to give back the discounted money to the school's fund, a practice that seems exploitative and unethical. The school advertises its ability to communicate with pastoral staff, but the reality is that when complaints are raised about a teacher's behaviour, the staff will go to great lengths to gaslight students into thinking they are wrong for bringing up concerns. If a student falls short of the school's academic standards, instead of receiving the help and encouragement they deserve given the fees they pay, they are subjected to humiliation and urged to change their career aspirations, effectively crushing their dreams. In summary, Queens College is a place that fosters a toxic environment, perpetuates discrimination, invades students' privacy, and humiliates those who don't meet its arbitrary standards. I strongly advise parents and students to seek alternative educational institutions that prioritise inclusivity, support, and respect for all individuals.
The school is welcoming and innovative. The amount of clubs, sports and societies is excellent. Encouraging older girls to mentor younger and getting them to work as a team. Teaching staff friendly and approachable and they encourage a joy in learning. There is a great supportive and nurturing environment in the school and parents are encouraged to be part of the school life through regular PTA updates and events. I highly recommend this school.
A great school which suited both my two very different daughters. QCL encourages individuality and supports the students' variety of skills. Academic standards are on the rise, and come from the Principal's firmly held belief that happy children will succeed, rather than from a pressured, hot-house environment. Pastoral care is excellent.
This is a first rate school, my daughter could not be happier. The staff are committed, friendly and always helpful. The number of extra curricular activities on offer is huge, and the pastoral care is second to none.
This is such a wonderful school. The wrap around care for new senior girls starts before they begin, buddying them with another student. Pastoral care is a big priority for the Head and the leadership team. It is not a cliquey or stuffy school environment. Well established parent association who actively raise money for charities and create events for parent networking. 6th form curriculum is challenging but manageable, and small class sizes help students to keep up to speed. Busy diary of in-school clubs, after school lectures, music, volunteering and peer mentoring opportunities, and varied sports activities.
I can’t say enough positive things about Queen’s College. My daughter started this year and, after two challenging pandemic years and moving from her lovely neighbourhood pre-prep school to a “big school” I have been blown away at their pastoral care and genuine support and positivity. The headmaster is strong in vision but human and approachable. In a year that has seen the departures of incredible heads from very established London public schools, he remains very much in command of his ship. From the very first video tour we weren’t able to visit in person due to COVID regs where the he told us, with humour and self depreciation, that a recent graduate had been accepted to Oxbridge but selected a different university option “every Headmasters dream” to the first parents meeting when he addressed maybe 100+ of us with a tooth emergency and half-numbed face he handles challenges with aplomb. The parents are culturally diverse and kind - genuinely helpful to one another. The school’s central location draws families from all over London - which is also a huge positive for the girls! The girls get study-buddies and big sisters and have many opportunities to work together and meet people throughout the school. What better preparation is there for the world they will enter than to understand, appreciate and celebrate cultural and individual differences and similarities and knowing we are all in it together? My last worry about joining was the inaccessibility to sports grounds - a challenge with any central school - but Queen’s has done a great job of creating meaningful sporting opportunities for the girls with after school clubs and squads offering loads of chances to try something new or improve a skill and lots of exercise time. I’ve learned, over the years, that not every school is a fit for every child - and the school that you went to or your daughters best friend attends might not be right for you. And Queen’s won’t be right for everyone - but I have to say, if you judge a school by looking forward and not looking back Queen’s is , and Queen’s girls are, going places.
This school is extremely toxic. Don’t send your child to this school if you want your daughter to become mentally unwell.All the good teachers have left and the only teachers who have stayed only care about the representation of school and not actually the mental well being of the students. Overall , there’s a toxic energy in the school and I recommend you don’t send your daughter to this school.
My daughter is incredibly happy at Queen's. Despite starting there in September 2020, her first year coinciding with the Covid pandemic and us parents not being able to set foot inside school or meet any of her teachers in person during that whole first year the fact that it is a very special school shines through in so many ways. Mr Tillett is an incredible Head who is approachable and goes that extra mile all the time. After our first term at Queen's, we went into homeschooling and that was also managed really well. One day during homeschooling, my daughter received a 'Pastoral Postcard Award' in the post recognising her hard work. Just little touches like that make such a huge difference. Queen's is more than a school; it is a community and that still came through despite starting during a pandemic. I look forward to life returning to a bit more normal, so we can finally start experiencing Queen's fully and in person. I can't speak highly enough of Queen's. My daughter is thriving!
We have been part of the school for the last 4 years and, as parents, we couldn't be happier. Our daughter has flourished and has grown from a timid 11 yrs old to a confident and kind teenager. The school has proven multiple times that the academics are as important as the social values. Mr Tillett nomination to Tatler's Headmaster of the Year Award is proof of his commitment to the school and how he is highly respected by both the parents ans his peers. A great all around school, located in the heart of London and providing a multicultural environemnt for its students. Its location allows to have access to everything London can offer. From museum, to theatre and to architectual discoveries Queens College London teachers' take advantage of every aspect of this cosmopolitan city.
Don’t send your child here if you want them to be treated fairly. Headmaster is a power craving knob. If you want your child to enjoy school life stay clear from this living nightmare.
