About The Queen’s College
The Queen’s College is one of Oxford’s oldest and most central colleges, located on the High Street in the city centre. Affectionately known as “Queen’s”, the college was founded in 1341 by Robert de Eglesfield and named after Queen Philippa of Hainault, the wife of King Edward III.
Among the beautiful architecture of Queen’s College are buildings designed by Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor. The architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner famously described the Front Quad of Queen’s as “the grandest piece of classical architecture in Oxford”, an accolade that it clearly deserves.
Owing to its central location, Oxford Royale Academy students staying in Queen’s will have easy access to Oxford’s many attractions and amenities.
Among Queen’s many impressive and notable alumni are Henry V, the English king best known for his victory at the Battle of Agincourt, the former Prime Minister of Australia Tony Abbott, the theologian John Wycliffe, actor and comedian Rowan Atkinson and Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web.
