Our heritage
Our heritage
Shaped by history
Inspired by Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet, one of the most successful grammar schools in the United Kingdom, Queen Elizabeth’s School, Dubai Sports City is part of Queen Elizabeth’s Global Schools, a growing network of international K-12 schools located throughout the world.
Incorporated by royal charter in 1573, Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet has served the community for over four and a half centuries as a symbol of academic distinction, leadership and moral standards.
As a nationally recognised centre of excellence since its founding in Elizabethan England, Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet has always been committed to combining academic excellence with character development, preparing students to contribute meaningfully to society through their education.
History-inspired global vision
Queen Elizabeth's Global Schools extend this rich heritage into a new international context. Global Education (GEDU) has founded these branches in partnership with Queen Elizabeth's Global School to bring its educational ethos and core values to diverse communities around the world starting with campuses in India and the United Arab Emirates.
The expansion demonstrates a shared belief in the importance of a values-driven education that prepares students to excel not only academically but as confident, articulate and responsible global citizens as well.
Excellence in academics infused with character
Our founding school, Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet prides itself on its balance of tradition and innovation. In addition to producing students who excel in national exams and attend prestigious universities, the School cultivates resilience, humility and a strong sense of community amongst its students.
Our global schools adhere to this philosophy. As part of their holistic approach to teaching, Queen Elizabeth's Global Schools offer a curriculum grounded in British academic standards. A stimulating environment in these schools encourages students to develop intellectually, emotionally and socially.
An enduring legacy
Our global schools sustain the legacy of Queen Elizabeth's Global School in a way that reimagines and energises it. In today's interconnected world, we remain true to the ideals that have guided us since 1573, while adapting our approach to address the opportunities and challenges that present themselves.
With Queen Elizabeth's Global Schools, families join a proud tradition of inspiring excellence across continents.
