Safeguarding and child protection procedures are fully in place. Staff know their students well and they provide outstanding levels of care, guidance and support for them. Every department,
for example, has a clinic, a club and competitions to provide support for students who are struggling, extra activities for those who are interested and opportunities to be stretched for
the most talented. This is a safe place where students thrive and develop into highly articulate and mature young men who are exceedingly well prepared for their future lives.

That is an extract from a recent Ofsted report on QE Boys Barnet. It's interesting that no such provisions existed when I was there in the early 1960s. I was lucky to get through the school having only been caned twice. Some of the masters at that time were quite useless, one in particular - RM Cocks did no more than read from a text book!!!!!
