Sixth Form
Welcome to our Sixth Form at Queen Elizabeth's Girls' School. I hope that you will enjoy reading our prospectus. It will give you a flavour of what we offer, but we hope that you will come and meet our students and staff so that you can get a real sense of what the QE Sixth Form offers.
The school and the Sixth form were inspected by Ofsted in November 2007 and I was delighted that both were judged to be 'outstanding'. Our priorities are:
- High achievement for all
- Enabling every student to fulfil her potential
- Development of self-confidence and personal skills which will enable each individual to succeed in 21st century life
Our success in achieving this is reflected in the school's excellent examination results. Most of our students go on to university and the destinations list is impressive. Ofsted confirmed that "students make outstanding progress" and that "success rates are high". Students across the ability range achieve considerable success in our Sixth Form and our value added outcomes have been ‘outstanding’ for at least 6 years which few schools in the country can equal. This is helped by outstanding teaching, pastoral support and guidance on higher education and careers. There is an ethos of hard work and achievement, but students enjoy their time in the Sixth form and contribute much to enrich school life for the whole community.
