ABOUT THE SCHOOL

The Queen's School, Chester

The Queen’s School is a leading selective GSA Independent day school providing education for around 600 girls between the ages of 4 and 18 years. 

The school is highly successful, with a strong and consistent emphasis on the needs of individual pupils that focuses on enabling pupils to challenge, question and develop.  The Queen’s school is well known for its excellent pastoral care, which is a hallmark of its community and underpins the academic focus that characterises the school.  The vast majority of our pupils go on to attend their first choice university, including medical and Oxbridge places, and leave the school as confident, articulate and well balanced young women.

  The Queen’s Lower School

The Lower School is situated on Liverpool Road and encompasses two large Victorian buildings as well as purpose built mobile classrooms with extensive grounds to the rear of the property and its own swimming pool. The school offers a varied programme of extra-curricular activities for all pupils. A before and after-school club enables families flexibility and wrap-around care.

Curriculum

Pupils are taught in small classes and follow the new National Curriculum in Key Stage One. In addition, pupils receive an enriched educational provision through subject specialist lessons in Modern Foreign Languages, IT, Music, Sport, Swimming and Creative Development.

Pupils are assessed for entry and are, therefore, expected to achieve a high standard of work in all subject areas.

Applications must be received by noon Monday 27th August 2018 and interviews will be held on Thursday 30th August 2018.

Applications will only be accepted on the school application form.
