About Queens' School
Queens' School is a secondary school in Bushey, Hertfordshire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 1,660 pupils aged 11 to 18 attend the school. The school's average Attainment 8 score in the latest GCSE results was 57.5 — well above the national average (national average: 46). Its Attainment 8 score has risen by 4.0 points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 10% of secondary schools in England.
68% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, well above the national average of about 45%. 84% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. Queens' School is oversubscribed: about 4 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Year 7 place for September 2026, with 436 first choices for 259 places. After Year 11, 98% of its leavers went on to education, an apprenticeship or work that they stayed in for at least two terms. Overall pupil absence was 5.7%. There are about 16.8 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 11% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Queens' School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
