Queen’s College is one of the top academic schools in the South West of England with nearly 600 pupils including 180 boarders. A co-educational day and boarding school for children aged 3 months to 18 years, Queen’s is renowned for its friendly atmosphere, small class sizes and excellent pastoral care. Mutual respect and positive attitudes allow students to take informed risks, make mistakes and learn in a supportive and empowered way. Students leave Queen’s as well rounded and fulfilled young adults, ready to take on the challenges of life with a truly global outlook. From an academic perspective, 65% of A Level students gained A*-B grades last year and the vast majority took up their first-choice place at university. The school is also well-known for top results in the creative and performing arts while excellent teaching facilities in Science and Maths are reflected in outstanding academic achievements. A wide variety of co-curricular activities take place and, on the sports field, more than a dozen students have represented their country on the international stage in recent years. Queen’s is a centre of excellence for outdoor pursuits – with opportunities to horse ride, canoe and climb – and also has one of the region’s largest cohorts for the Duke of Edinburgh Award . The school also runs a comprehensive programme of trips – both in the UK and abroad – and has an active Model United Nations offering.
