University Destinations

The universities our girls attend and career paths they take are a testament not only to the exceptional teaching at The Queen’s School but also to the overall excellence and attainment of our students. Sixth Form Leavers’ Day in is always a joyous occasion, filled with mixed emotions. While we feel a pang of sadness as we say goodbye to our Year 13 students, the excitement about their futures is palpable.

Securing a place at a top university often hinges on a girl’s performance during interviews. Universities seek articulate, confident students who are intellectually curious, capable of critical thinking, and strategic in their approach.

Our Sixth Form Q-Elevate programme provides our students with opportunities to engage in in-depth research, public speaking, debating, and presenting. These experiences hone their skills, ensuring they are well-prepared for university interviews and beyond.

We offer bespoke career advice from the outset, inspiring, informing, and supporting every student in their career aspirations. This tailored guidance helps our students consistently secure places at their first-choice universities and succeed in gaining acceptance onto highly competitive courses.
