The Queen’s School is thrilled to see students going on to so many superb universities and celebrating another year of outstanding A-level results.
100% of grades were A* - A in Computing, Further Maths, Economics, Physics, Latin, Geography, DT and Classical Civilisation and 100% of grades were A*- B in Art, Drama, English Literature and Maths.
Nearly 80% of students opted to take at least one STEM subject at A-level, with 79% of the grades achieved at A*- B, proving once again the value of all-girls education in removing barriers and empowering students to not be afraid to pursue traditionally perceived male-dominated subjects.
A reflection of our students' incredible hard work and dedication, we are delighted to see girls secure places at prestigious universities on a wide variety of impressive courses, showcasing their diverse talents and ambitions.
After achieving all A* grades for all her A-level subjects, Holly, who joined Queen’s for Sixth Form in Year 12, is looking forward to studying Psychology at the University of York.
She said: “I am incredibly excited to be heading to York. Securing a place to study Psychology is a dream come true, and I’m so grateful for the support from my teachers and friends.
“My time at Queen’s has given me with the skills and confidence I need to succeed, and I’m looking forward to applying everything I’ve learned in this new and exciting chapter of my life. I am so glad I joined Queen’s for Sixth Form, I quickly settled in and have never looked back. I can’t wait to embrace the challenges and opportunities ahead!”
Caroline is delighted to have secured her place at the University of Oxford to read Classics, and her best friend Cora is off to the University of Cambridge to read History and Politics.
Cerys (3xA*, 1xA) and Jocelyn (3xA) will study Computer Science at the University of Warwick and the University of Nottingham. Sasha (2xA*, 1xA) is off to Kings College London to study Neuroscience and Psychology. Marni (2xA*, 1xA) is looking forward to studying English Literature and History, and Emily (2xA*, 1xA) will study Modern Languages and Cultures, both at Durham University.
Tia (A*, A, B), Rachel (A, A, A), Yaz (A*, B, B) and Francessca (A, A, A, B), are delighted to have secured the grades they need to study Medicine.

Over half of all the A-level grades achieved by Queen’s students were A* - A and 53% of students achieved at least 2 A* - A grades.
Full of pride and gratitude, Headmistress Joanne Keville said: “I am immensely proud of all our girls for their outstanding A-level results. Their hard work, resilience, and determination has truly paid off. I would also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to our dedicated staff who have gone above and beyond to ensure each student reaches their full potential. Their unwavering commitment to our students' success is inspiring. I would also like to recognise our fantastic parent body for their unwavering support.
“These results are also a testament to the exceptional support and valuable careers guidance provided at The Queen’s School. It is days like today which reaffirm the value our small, university-style Sixth Form brings in allowing us to personalise learning for each student, ensuring they receive the individual attention and support they need to excel. This tailored approach not only prepares our girls academically but also empowers them to confidently step into their future careers.”
As always our students are off to study a wide range of courses including Art, Biology, Business and Management, Child Nursing, Classics, Computer Science, Communications, Dentistry, Digital Media, English Literature and History, Finance and Economics, Forensic Psychology and Criminal Justice, Geography, History with Politics, History and Philosophy, International Business, International Relations and Spanish, Medicine, Pharmacology, Modern Languages and Cultures, Music, Philosophy, Psychology, Politics and Economics, and Neuroscience with Psychology.
Mrs. Keville continued, “Before they move on to the next exciting chapter of their lives, we look forward to welcoming back our class of 2024 as our newest alumnae for the Michaelmas Supper in September. We know it will not be the last time we see them as our alumni are such an integral part of our Queen’s community who regularly return to share their experiences, support, and advice with our current students. Indeed, we look forward to welcoming them and the rest of our alumni community back to celebrate our upcoming 150th anniversary! Well done, girls - we are extremely proud and delighted for you all.”
