About Queenswell Junior School

Queenswell Junior School is a state primary in Barnet for children aged 7 to 11, and it is currently oversubscribed: the school has 265 pupils against a capacity of 240. That extra demand is notable given the local context — Barnet has 91 primary schools, 14 of which are rated Outstanding, so competition for places is real. The school’s intake is significantly more disadvantaged than the national average, with 35.1% of pupils eligible for free school meals, a figure that stands out even for a London borough. The headteacher is Elizabeth Longworth, and the school has no religious character. With a mixed gender intake and no nursery or sixth form provision, Queenswell is a straightforward junior school serving a specific local community, and the oversubscription suggests it is a popular choice among families in the area despite not being among the highest-ranked schools locally.
