Queen's College

Overview

We are one of the leading co-educational schools in the South West, continually investing in excellent facilities and achieving outstanding “A” level and GCSE results. Nursery through to Sixth Form is all on one site ensuring a smooth transition from one stage of education to the next and maintaining familiarity and continuity.
The college offers a diverse and exciting co-curricular programme, ensuring a comprehensive, all-round education. We are a close-knit community encouraging all students to become fully involved in the life of the school, recognising and valuing each pupil’s contribution.

We respect our pupils as individuals with differing strengths and nurture and develop each student’s potential. As a parent summed up, “Queen’s is brilliant at finding what your child is good at, developing this and making them feel special.” Boarders play a big part in school life and have access to a wealth of facilities and opportunities. All Boarding Houses have recently been refurbished and offer generous accommodation and a homely environment. Dorms sleep 1 – 6 and older pupils have single study bedrooms. Boarders have access to recreational and common rooms, comfortable TV lounges and quiet study areas with computer access. Weekend activities are offered, with trips on Sundays.

Unique Points

Visitors always comment on our welcoming, friendly, relaxed atmosphere and the real sense of purpose and passion for learning. Inspirational teaching encourages our students to question and to challenge. We instil in our students the self-belief and conviction that no goal is unattainable, providing opportunities which develop and prepare them to become responsible, inspirational, ambitious and focussed members of society. We encourage versatility, integrity, modesty, empathy and the confidence to take risks and make changes – essential 21st century life skills.

Entry Requirements

We ask for a copy of the student’s latest school report and, if appropriate, predicted exam grades. Where applicable, students will also be required to sit our Maths, English and Science tests.
