Can we get in?

How far offers reached

Each bar shows how far from Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet the last child offered a place lived, under the last admission rule the offers reached. Up to five years, on one scale.

Qualifying is not the same as being offered a place.

A score of 225 or more means your child can be considered. If more children qualify than there are places, the school gives places using its admission rules, in order. The figures below show how far those rules reached in past years. They are history, not a prediction: they change every year with who applies.

About these figures

Because QE ranks boys by score, the useful number each year is the lowest score that still received an offer. It moves from year to year with the number and strength of applicants, so treat any past figure as a guide, not a promise.

QE directs parents to its admissions information pages for the lowest scores admitted in past years. We could not confirm those figures from the pages we were able to check, so the table shows them as not known yet. Please look them up on the school's website.

Help for families on lower incomes. QE does not give pupil premium priority in admissions, but it does offer free online 11+ practice to children who have been eligible for free school meals. Girls can use it too, and children do not have to apply to QE to take part. The child's primary school confirms eligibility. Details are on QE's admissions pages.

The test

QE runs its own entrance test rather than joining a shared borough test. The pages we checked do not say which company produces the papers.

For 2027 entry the papers covered English and mathsQueen Elizabeth's School, Barnet 2027 entry: Stage1 subjectsChecked 9 Oct 2026 against Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet.The source says: Our entrance test consists of two multiple-choice format papers in English and Mathematics sat in a single session.View the official source, with every question in multiple choiceQueen Elizabeth's School, Barnet 2027 entry: Stage1 formatChecked 9 Oct 2026 against Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet.The source says: Our entrance test consists of two multiple-choice format papers in English and Mathematics sat in a single session.View the official source form.

How a score is built. Standardised (age-adjusted) scores from the English and Maths tests are combined into a single overall score; relative weighting not stated; no maximum score quoted.Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet: Score composition (2027)Checked 9 Oct 2026 against Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet.The source says: The scores achieved are standardised by the company who supply the tests, taking account of the ages of the candidates. The scores from the two tests will be combined to produce a single, overall entrance test score for each candidate.View the official source

The minimum standard, then the ranking. Boys scoring 225 or more meet the Governors' standard and are eligible to be considered; places are then allocated in rank order of score, ties broken by straight-line distance.Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet: Qualifying rule (2027)Checked 9 Oct 2026 against Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet.The source says: Those candidates achieving a combined score of 225 or higher will be deemed to have met the standard required by the Governors to be eligible to be considered for admission to the school.View the official source

Put simply, reaching the Governors' standard lets a boy be considered. It does not by itself mean an offer. QE then works down its list from the highest score until its Year 7 places are filled, so a boy can reach the standard and still miss out on an offer.

Having made any adjustments which are appropriate for the candidate to sit the test, the marking process for such pupils is then identical to that for all others, and the minimum score required by the governors is also the same.View the official source
  • Missing the test or the registration deadline: No late registration: boys whose test request form is not received by noon on 8 July 2026 cannot be invited.

Offers are sent by your home council on National Offer Day (1 March 2027Barnet 2027 entry: National Offer DayChecked 9 Oct 2026 against Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet.The source says: 1st March 2027 ... National Offer Day ... Your home local authority will confirm whether you have been offered a place.View the official source). If QE cannot offer your son a place, you can appeal to an independent appeal panel. QE's admissions guide sets out how to lodge an appeal and the deadline. We could not check it, so use the guide and the letter that comes with your offer.

Appealing and staying on QE's waiting list are separate, so you can do both. Most appeals for places at full schools do not succeed, which is one more reason to list a realistic second choice on your council form.
