===Grammar school reinstatement===
Under Eamonn Harris (Headmaster 1984 - 1999), who took over the school when earmarked for closure, it returned to its previous selective [[grammar school]] status in August 1994, having opted out of the London borough and become a [[grant-maintained school]] in 1989. Other schools in Greater London did this, and many became [[Partially selective school (England)|partially selective]] (up to 50%) at this time. In the 1990s it went on to become England's top state school for A-levels.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.qebarnet.co.uk/leadership-courage-and-commitment-reforming-headmaster-eamonn-harris-1984-1999-has-passed-away/|title=Leadership, courage and commitment: reforming Headmaster Eamonn Harris (1984-1999) passes away|date=7 November 2019|website=Queen Elizabeth's School}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/4183309/Queen-Elizabeths-boys-show-the-girls-they-too-can-excel.html |title=Queen Elizabeth's boys show the girls they too can excel |last=Lightfoot |first=Liz |date=2002-08-15 |website=The Telegraph |language=en-GB |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180111092736/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/4183309/Queen-Elizabeths-boys-show-the-girls-they-too-can-excel.html |archive-date=11 January 2018 |access-date=2019-09-24 }}</ref>

QE has been criticized by many current and former pupils for a very strict approach to discipline.{{citation needed|date=May 2024}} In April 2000, this led a group of current and former pupils to create a website where they could talk about their experiences. This was known as 'QE Boys: The Truth'. It gained more hits than the official website, and the school excluded three pupils for posting messages on it.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.geocities.com/haze129/faq.html |title=FAQ |date=2000-04-20 |website=QE Boys: The Truth |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090208103354/http://geocities.com/haze129/faq.html |archive-date=8 February 2009 |access-date=27 April 2009 }}</ref> The current system uses 'bad notes' sent directly to parents via e-mail if a pupil repeatedly shows poor behaviour.{{citation needed|date=May 2024}} If too many accumulate, the issue is referred to the pupil's tutor and then to their year head.
