CEO’s welcome
Welcome to Queen Elizabeth’s Global Schools
I am delighted to welcome you to a distinguished group of schools inspired by the outstanding success of Queen Elizabeth’s School, Barnet, consistently ranked among the best in the UK, and named Sunday Times State Secondary School of the Year 2024.
Our global schools proudly carry on this legacy, offering a rigorous British-style education that develops confident, able and responsible young people. All our programmes, from Early Years to Sixth Form, are designed to challenge students academically, support them personally and help them develop strong values while becoming independent thinkers.
We are committed to offering a truly holistic educational experience through programmes such as QE Flourish and QE Futures, as well as a vibrant house system. This prepares our students to thrive not just at top universities, but also at top employers and in a global economy.
Thank you for visiting. I invite you to discover how Queen Elizabeth’s Global Schools are redefining excellence in international education.
Warm regards,Our global presence
Queen Elizabeth’s Global Schools represent the outcome of a unique and ambitious partnership between Queen Elizabeth’s School, Barnet, one of the UK’s most respected grammar schools and Global Education (GEDU), an international education group with a presence across multiple continents.
Founded in 1573, Queen Elizabeth’s School is renowned for its academic excellence, strong values and development of young leaders. GEDU brings global reach, innovation and deep expertise to international education, serving over 60,000 students worldwide.
Together, these two organizations are creating branch schools that combine the traditions and academic rigour of British education with forward-thinking, globally relevant approaches. This has resulted in the establishment of a growing network of exceptional schools that uphold QE's philosophy of educating students while preparing them for life in an increasingly dynamic environment.
