The Curriculum
A broad, balanced curriculum with excellent STEM, performing arts and sport provision complements the extensive range of cocurricular opportunities. The variety of traditional subjects sits alongside sixth-form-specific subjects such as criminology, sociology and film. Interdisciplinary projects are introduced in year seven, emphasising the harmony between subjects for real world skills.
Games & The Arts
Queen Anne’s boasts a state-of-the-art music centre, outstanding art and ceramics facilities, and a 250-seat theatre and a thriving dance department. Amazing performance opportunities such as the Westminster Abbey service and music tours overseas are cherished by the girls here. Many students earn places on national sports teams and overseas sports scholarships, particularly in the school’s specialist sport of lacrosse. Students also excel in netball, tennis and athletics.
Pastoral Care
Gaining significant recognition for its innovative approach to student wellbeing, Queen Anne’s recently won three pastoral care awards, recognised by Talk Education, The Health in Education Association (HIEDA) and The Week Independent Schools Guide. At the heart of this achievement is the school’s weekly wellbeing check-in, an initiative supporting students’ physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
University Places
UK and overseas including Oxbridge, Russell Group and Ivy League universities and degree apprenticeships.
