Curriculum
Queen’s College, London offers an exceptional curriculum that combines academic excellence with innovation. Pupils achieve outstanding GCSE and A level results while benefiting from the pioneering Queen’s Diploma, which develops leadership, creativity and real-world skills. All teachers work hard to provide engaging enrichment in and out of the classroom, allowing pupils to explore their interests and develop academic independence across all subjects.
Sport & The Arts
Thriving sporting and creative arts programmes encourage pupils to participate, perform and achieve. With more than 100 fixtures annually, pupils enjoy success in football, athletics, hockey and cricket, alongside swimming and nationally ranked cheerleading teams (#1 and #2 in the UK). Drama and music flourish through concerts, productions and performances, giving pupils opportunities to shine on stage, build confidence and work as part of a team.
Pastoral Care
The school’s pastoral-led culture is built on the belief that happy girls are confident girls, and that confidence leads to success. Through the award-nominated Thrive programme – which has been shortlisted for the TES Awards for four consecutive years – every pupil is supported to flourish both academically and personally. Thrive brings together wellbeing initiatives, PSHE, peer mentors, anti-bullying ambassadors and the school’s Queen’s Off Screens initiative, ensuring every girl feels known, supported and empowered.
Exit Destinations
In 2025, 89 percent of UK applicants secured places at Russell Group universities, with others attending top institutions including the University of St Andrews and leading US colleges.
Head’s Philosophy
To ensure success does not come from pressure, but rather from kindness, tolerance and respect. Supported by outstanding teaching and pastoral care, Queen’s College pupils develop confidence, character and purpose. While our academic results are exceptional, our pupils remain our finest ambassadors.
