Queen's College is one of the top academic schools in the South West of England with 715 pupils including nearly 200 boarders. A co-educational day and boarding school for children aged 0-18 years, Queen's is renowned for its friendly atmosphere, small class sizes and excellent pastoral care. Mutual respect and positive attitudes allow students to take informed risks, make mistakes and learn in a supportive and empowered way. Students leave Queen's as well rounded and fulfilled young adults, ready to take on the challenges of life with a truly global outlook. From an academic perspective, 77% of A Level students gained A*-B grades this year and the vast majority took up their first-choice place at university. The school is also well-known for top results in the creative and performing arts while excellent teaching facilities in Science and Maths are reflected in outstanding academic achievements. A wide variety of co-curricular activities take place and, on the sports field, more than a dozen students have represented their country on the international stage in recent years. Queen's is a centre of excellence for outdoor pursuits – with opportunities to horse ride, canoe and climb – and also has one of the region's largest cohorts for the Duke of Edinburgh Award . The school also runs a comprehensive programme of trips – both in the UK and abroad – and has an active Model United Nations offering.
