At The Queen's School, every girl's voice is heard and celebrated. An outstanding independent school for girls aged 4-18, located in the historic city of Chester, Queen's provides the perfect setting for ambition to flourish, dreams to be realised, and a solid foundation laid from which to build and be happy and successful. Queen's is passionate and firmly believes in the benefits of an all-girls education and an atmosphere that fosters strong bonds and a sense of belonging, while celebrating the strengths and talents that make every girl unique.
Pupils are given self-belief and the opportunities to explore and try new things. In particular Queen's girls are encouraged to:
- Think independently
- Collaborate confidently
- Aspire globally
Providing outdoor learning opportunities is part of the fabric that makes up the curriculum at the Lower School, giving pupils the opportunity to reconnect with the outdoor world beyond the classroom, boosting environmental stewardship, academic learning and personal development. Forest activities and the Beach School programme help pupils develop many skills that are hard to teach in the classroom. They encourage them to be active, assess situations, take risks and make decisions, with lots of activities to develop both fine and gross motor skills.
The school fosters a global perspective by immersing the girls in experiences that develop a deep understanding and appreciation of other cultures. Queen's want pupils to contribute successfully in the global community by developing the attitudes, knowledge, and skills needed to live and work in today's interconnected world, matched with global competence to participate as empathetic, engaged, and effective citizens of the world.
All of this takes place in a warm, caring environment where no one gets lost or slips through the net. Being a smaller school dedicated to the education of girls, pupils are offered a level of pastoral and academic support that is second to none. Learning is enhanced through a wide range of co-curricular opportunities and individually tailoring the approach to each child enables them to achieve outstanding academic results, whilst developing the skills and mind-set to thrive in a changing world.
Lower School Open House: Friday 4 October 2024. Bespoke tours and taster days available throughout the year.
