It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Submit Preliminary Enquiry Form for admission. The form is available for download and initiates the admissions process. It helps the college provide relevant information about entry timelines and next steps. This form is the first step for prospective families seeking a place at Queen's College.
Entry to Queen's College is through interview and assessment at all levels. The process ensures candidates are suitable for the program and community. Applicants from other schools must provide academic reports and, if requested, a character reference from their Head Teacher. The college may request additional information during the admissions process.
Pupils coming from other schools must provide copies of their most recent academic reports. If requested, a personal reference from the Head Teacher may be provided. The school requires that all applicants (except nursery) have a good grasp of the English language, spoken and written, at a level appropriate to their stage of development.
The form of assessment depends on the level of entry. Primary Department pupils spend a morning in the classroom to experience life at Queen's and to help the class teacher assess suitability. Secondary Department pupils take a test in English and Mathematics and, where applicable, Spanish. Sixth Form (years 12 and 13) entry depends on GCSE results and a personal reference from the previous school.
The Sisu Award is presented annually to Year 13 students in recognition of effort and perseverance. The award is based on specific results-based criteria, and there is no limit to the number of awards. The award consists of a monetary prize: a refund of 50% of the final year's annual school fee. The criteria require achieving the equivalent of 4 A grades at GCE A-level and demonstrating the academic and personal qualities expected of a Queen's College student. The concept behind the award name, SISU, reflects strength of will, determination, perseverance, and rational action in adversity.
