Queenswood is a dynamic, forward-looking school preparing modern girls to be the thinkers and leaders of tomorrow.

Our community is structured and purposeful, yet relaxed and friendly. Set in 120 acres of gardens and parkland, queenswood gives every girl room to grow and be herself Our beautiful setting provides a safe, attractive environment for learning, without being in any sense cut off: the cultural amenities of London are only 17 miles away by road or rail.

We welcome boarders and day boarders, all of whom benefit from excellent academic opportunities, the highest quality pastoral care and a huge range of extra-curricular activities.

We acknowledge the worth, dignity and creative capacity of every member of our school community. Our values are founded on self-discipline, self-esteem, mutual respect and co-operation.

We provide opportunities for our students to seek wisdom, ask questions, consider choices, solve problems, make decisions and gain self knowledge.

Girls are encouraged to use their learning to contribute to the wider world. Within a happy Christian environment, we offer scope for personal, cultural, intellectual, emotional and physical development.

Academic expectations at Queenswood are high and virtually all students proceed to higher education. Girls are encouraged to set their own standards, striving for the best of which they are capable.

We are proud of our reputation for the high quality and vitality of our music. This plays a central role in the creative life of the school and in the cultural and artistic development of all pupils. We encourage a love for music in every girl and promote skills in performance, composing and listening.

The school has a long tradition of excellence in sport, achieving outstanding success at county, regional and national level in a variety of sports. The ethos is "Sport for All" and while Queenswood provides many highly talented and skilled role models, the emphasis for all pupils is on involvement and enjoyment.

We believe that education for life means much more than academic and examination success. Every girl is encouraged to participate in a number of exciting extracurricular activities. Nurturing pupils' enthusiasm and interests is a high priority.

We welcome girls of all faiths and cultures, and we value the individual contribution each brings to the school.
