As a relatively small Sixth Form, we are able to get to know students well. Teachers have the flexibility to personalise learning, which means girls are taught in a way that benefits them the most and plays to their strengths and talents, while supporting them to tackle any challenges.
Our tutorial-style learning in Sixth Form is much like university itself, where topics are debated and discussed in small groups led by a teacher. Here students learn to listen and to present their ideas coherently.
Queen’s Sixth Formers are valued for thinking creatively and innovatively, no matter which subjects they choose to study. We realise that students get the best from themselves and achieve most highly when they are able to develop their own ideas and use their knowledge in fresh and exciting ways.
Sixth Form can be a superb place for students to discover their wider skills, such as working with others and making a difference to benefit those around them, and there is a huge wealth of opportunities on offer.
We offer a leadership role to every Sixth Former who chooses one through our Head Girl's team, prefect system and House system. Year 12 and 13 girls are also heavily involved in mentoring and supporting younger pupils lower down the school.
Queen’s has a vast network of alumnae – former pupils who now occupy important positions in prestigious companies and organisations all over the world. What they have in common is their belief that Queen’s made the difference. We regard such individuals as one of our most important resources – able to inspire, guide and support you through your Sixth Form career and beyond.
