School Information
Queens College had one of its most successful years ever in 2008 for A-level passes. "We set our sixth form an overall target of 75% A or B grades and they've achieved 78%, well beyond their target," commented the Headmaster. The co-curricular programme develops leadership qualities, teamwork, and confidence. Music, drama, art, sport, and outdoor pursuits are strong. Queen’s achieves its goals.
