Sixth Form
Welcome to Queen’s Sixth Form
As a relatively small Sixth Form, we are able to get to know students well. Teachers have the flexibility to personalise learning, which means girls are taught in a way that benefits them the most and plays to their strengths and talents, while supporting them to tackle any challenges.
Our tutorial-style learning in Sixth Form is much like university itself, where topics are debated and discussed in small groups led by a teacher. Here students learn to listen and to present their ideas coherently.
Extra academic support is there in the form of lunchtime clubs and individual tutoring slots. Our teachers really do go above and beyond to ensure that students fully understand their subject and are well prepared for examinations. They are also well qualified to extend each girl’s studies as far beyond the curriculum as she could wish. Our academic results speak for themselves with Queen’s regularly topping local league tables and performing superbly against other prestigious schools nationally.
However, the most important thing to everyone at Queen’s is that our students are happy and confidently working in partnership with their teachers in order to achieve their specific goals.
Sixth Formers also have the chance to engage with our exciting Q-Elevate programme which runs alongside their academic study. Its four elements – Q-Global, Q-Lead, Q-Enrich and Q-Scholar – offer remarkable opportunities for pupils to forge a personalised and individual pathway that broadens their experiences and builds an impressive ‘life portfolio’. This can be used to support and strengthen both their university applications and career profiles for the future.
At Queen’s Sixth Form we make a difference, and our girls make excellent progress, leave us exceptionally well qualified, self-assured, articulate and ready to seize all that life has to offer. Bespoke tours and taster days are available by contacting our Admissions Department. Simply email admissions@thequeensschool.co.uk.
I look forward to welcoming you.

Think Independently
Encouraging intellectual curiosity, bravery and creative lifelong learning.
We never forget that we are helping to develop the next generation of leaders, innovators and creators, and we do all we can to keep alight the curiosity and creativity found in children and young adults. Girls are encouraged to believe that there is no one ‘right answer’, to take risks and to put forward their own ideas. Throughout their time at Queen’s they learn to offer their ideas with confidence and not be put off by the fear of getting it wrong.
Collaborate Confidently
Nurturing resilient leaders and collaborators.
At Queen’s every girl is given the opportunity to lead, create and innovate. She is valued for her contribution in each and every area of school life. Girls are encouraged to take responsibility and there are plentiful opportunities to work as part of a team and in a leadership role in both the Senior School and Lower School.
Aspire Globally
Developing ambitious girls with a global outlook.
Girls at Queen’s are encouraged to be aware of and understand their responsibilities in the wider world. Awareness and compassion are developed through involvement in community and charity projects, both locally and worldwide.
