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. Inter-disciplinary projects are introduced in year seven, emphasising the harmony between subjects for real world skills.
Sport & The Arts
Queen Anne’s boasts a music centre, art and ceramics facilities, 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. 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 highly regarded and widely recognised pastoral care awards. At the heart of this achievement is the school’s weekly wellbeing check-in, an incredible initiative supporting students’ physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
