Admissions
As an Academy, Queen Elizabeth's School is its own admissions authority and each year sets the admissions criteria and number following consultation.
Prospective parents seeking admission after the commencement of Year 9, or to tour the school at any other time should contact our Admissions Department at admissions@queenelizabeths.com
Children attending schools in the Wimborne pyramid should receive full application details via their Middle Schools. If your child is not in the pyramid, you can obtain this information and the current policy on admissions from our website.
