Queen's College was established as a result of the recommendation of an Education Commission whose report suggested that Barbados required a first grade school for girls. The school focused on academic excellence and its mandate was to produce an education for girls similar to that in the top educational institutions in Great Britain. - - The school commenced operation at Constitution Road on January 29, 1883 with thirty-three female students. Their ages ranged from three to nineteen. The school was managed by a Board of Governors and the first Headmistress was an Englishwoman, Miss Helen Veich-Brown. - - The school roll steadily increased and in 1946, the place of Queen's College as an institution of academic excellence was firmly established when Elsie Pligrim became the first female in Barbados to be awarded the prestigious Barbados Government Scholarship. - - In 1970, Elsie Payne (née Pilgrim) became the first Barbadian Headmistress, and during her tenure of office, co-education was introduced, when thirty eight first form boys entered the school (1981).
