Our teaching staff and award-winning careers department work closely with students to ensure they make good choices which will benefit their long-term career ambitions. Girls leaving Queen’s progress to some of the UK’s leading Higher Education providers to take some of the most prestigious undergraduate courses in the country.
For those girls wanting to pursue highly competitive courses, we offer specialist guidance and advice. A programme of dedicated activities supports all students applying to Oxford and Cambridge and several visits to colleges are organised. Our medics, dentists and vets all receive additional mentoring and tuition, including mock interviews from trained academics who are hugely experienced in helping girls with successful applications. Art students wishing to apply to highly competitive London colleges also find a wealth of experience and expertise at their fingertips.
The support I’ve had has made the difference. I’m not sure I would be where I am if I hadn’t taken their advice.

Queen’s is in the fortunate position of having an extremely strong network of former pupils which enables us to draw on a wealth of talent and experience. Former students and staff of Queen’s are happy to give their time and visit the school to inspire pupils. Their stories are diverse and fascinating – from consultants, award-winning artists and engineers to bankers, wildlife photographers and business leaders. What they have in common is their belief that Queen’s made the difference.
Choosing the right place to study and the right course is hugely important and it is where our personal approach to learning and our nurturing ethos really pay dividends. The advice girls receive uses the latest profiling and research methods and is also tailored to individuals based on real first-hand knowledge of their career aspirations, talents and strengths.
