Overview
Overview
Queen's College, London divides its girls' education between a preparatory school for ages 3 to 11 and the College for ages 11 to 18, together educating girls from 3 to 19. The two-part structure includes a Sixth Form and no current boarding provision. A partner Sixth Form boarding option is planned for September 2027, but it is not part of the present offer.
Years 7 to 9 combine sciences, languages, Latin, Classical Civilisation, humanities, creative subjects and Thrive before pupils usually take nine or ten GCSEs or IGCSEs. There is no blocking system at GCSE or A level. Future Frontiers adds research, writing, creativity, presentation and collaboration to the Queen's Diploma, while sport, music, drama, clubs and visits extend the curriculum beyond lessons.
The Senior College usually offers three A levels, with a fourth possible in some circumstances, alongside PSHE and physical education. Wednesday afternoons include voluntary work and work experience. Direct entry covers Year 7, Sixth Form and occasional places; Sixth Form applicants provide predicted grades and a reference, meet the Director of the Senior College and receive offers subject to required grades.
