School Information

Overall, 83% of Queen’s 2010 A-level results were A,B or C grades – very much in line with the school’s high academic standards. Fourteen high-fliers managed to achieve straight As or A*s in all their subjects. “All of our Oxbridge candidates are able to take up their places,” said Headmaster Chris Alcock, “Independent schools are still giving great value in terms of getting pupils into really good universities.”
