Senior Admissions
Senior School selection is an important part of your child’s education.
Our Senior Admissions Team would be delighted to speak with you about your family and what you are looking for.
The best way to get a feel for QEH is to attend one of our Open Mornings or to arrange an individual visit. Both would give you a chance for a pupil led tour of the school and to meet Rupert Heathcote, the Head, and other key staff.
We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to QEH.
