11+ Admissions

At 11+, admission to Queen's College, London marks the beginning of an exciting and supportive new chapter. We are committed to high academic standards, encouraging pupils to think critically, work with ambition, and develop a genuine love of learning. Equally important is our pastoral care: every child is known and supported as they grow in confidence and independence. Through close partnerships with families, we ensure each pupil feels secure, feels challenged and feels inspired, ready to flourish both academically and personally.

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. We suggest all applicants attend one of our Open Events before applying. 

Selection Process

Queen's is a member of the London 11+ Consortium and follows its Agreed Code of Practice.

We 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 the Consortium schools), an interview and a reference requested from an applicant's current school. Our policy is to offer places on the basis of the whole picture created by these elements, and we look very carefully at all three aspects to gauge a candidate's potential.
