Some tips if you are looking to join our community:

- The best guarantee of securing your place at QMC is to reach out to us early and start in our Preschool or Junior School.

- 2025 Starters: We have limited spaces for new students throughout 2025. We do have some availability in our junior, middle and senior years and recommend that you get in touch today to enquire about those places here.

- For 2026-2030 Starters: We recommend enrolling early for 2026-2030 to avoid disappointment. For those looking to start in 2026 we currently have some spaces in Years 1, 4, 6-11 and 13 but we encourage you to express your interest swiftly to avoid missing out.

- Another option worth considering is starting earlier at QMC than you might have originally planned e.g. joining in our outstanding Junior School, or alternatively in Year 6 to guarantee your place in Year 7, or in Year 8 to guarantee your place in Year 9 (these are big trends). These options really set your daughter up for success.
