The school's name was changed in 1920 and Queen Anne was chosen as it was situated on Queen Anne's Road. The school emblem was a sphinx underneath which was a furled ribbon reading the school motto Quod Potui Perfeci. [3]

The school became a co-educational comprehensive in 1985 and was renamed Queen Anne School. [4] [5] It closed in June 2000 [6] [7] and in 2001 St Olave's School moved to the site. [8]
